Just found the sound system book that was given out with the car, MENU until you get RDS, then press menu again, you SHOULD get more options, then it's Auto on/off, but as i posted earlier, i'll check mine tomorrow afternoon and post back

General Standard Radio CD player functions
ah, goodie, im off to have a look now as I need to check my headlights anyway!
Bigger. I just get "clip detect" on or off.....
Exactly the same with my CD/Radio. If you want it on or off you have to press the button. Doesn't come on or go off with the ignition. Wouldn't have a clue how i changed it off the top of my head though, as it was like it when i bought the car nearly 4 years ago!
Mine does this also. If you switch it on with the ignition switched off it'll say '20 minutes mode' on the radio display to let you know it'll go off after 20 mins. If you turn it on with igntion on & then turn ignition off, it just times 20 mins & goes off without warning
I've never found Clip Detect in the menu in mine, though some of your other settings like Speed Volume & Traffic come up with one short press of 'Menu' on my stereo. Maybe they added bits to the silver stereos that aren't on the older black ones. Mine's also MP3 compatible (was a factory option) so maybe that alters things
A word of warning though - dunno if it was just whilst you were in the menu's that you changed it, but i saw the Bass was set to 10 - the bass on mine shakes the door cards off on level 4 so this might be why the speakers sound rough on yours! I have Bass & Treble set to level 2, Balance on 0 and Fader on 1 to the front (as one rear speaker started to sound iffy on some tunes). Then i press & hold the long 'Audio' button and (on mine at least) it brings up equalizer options - you can then use the volume knob to scroll through things like Jazz, Rock, Classic, Customer (presumably meaning 'Custom'). I've got that set to Rock, which is already heavy on the bass so allows me to reduce the bass in the actual bass part of the menu, if that makes sence. In mine, that sounds spot on, especially on CDs
Cheers chaps, its a mystery! The Bass setting was just from me messing about, I'm pretty sure the left speaker is faulty regardless .
OK PEOPLES, I HAVE THE ANSWER!!!
i let me workmate take a look, and he figured it out. Basically, with the key in or out, doesnt matter, turn on stereo, press and hold "menu", then cycle through menu until you find Auto on/off!!
hurrah! before, I was holding menu, getting clip detect, but not pressing menu AGAIN, afterwards!!:bang::slayer:

isnt this what was said right up near the top? lol. .
glad you got it sorted.
check the guides/faq's for a hidden menu on that stereo. i THINK you turn it on then hold number 4+6 (or 3+6) and it will then cycle through each speaker checking they work (you have to push menu to go to the next speaker)

not so much of a lesson though, I read the manual, it says nothing about how to actually access the hidden menu!! unless of course, i read it wrong, but im pretty sure i didnt!:bang:
