Radio staying on when car off and locked
 

Hello All,

I just bought my 2016 370z and I am having issues with the radio staying on or even turning itself on when I have left the car off and locked.

My car is a 2016 base 370z
Here are a few of the situations that have happened :
1- I drove to work with the radio on (Day 7 of owning it), when I left the car I turned it off and jumped out. I am pretty sure I left the radio on but assumed it had a delay like my honda did but because i was in a rush I didn't think anything of it staying on when I left the car. when i returned to my car after lunch it was still playing the radio.

2- When I leave the car I turn the radio off with its off own off button, but the screen sometimes stays red even after locking the door and the rest of the lights turn off.

While at the gym i received a phone call to find that when i picked up it went to my bluetooth in the car. The car was off, parked, locked and when I left the car i made sure to press the radio off button (Unsure if the screen stayed lit or not tho)

3- I changed the battery in the key fob, went to try to turn it off while leaving the radio on. When i turned it off the radio went off, however I went back an hour or so later and the radio was playing again.

if anyone knows if this is a common issue, maybe a setting I dont know about please let me know. I still have warranty on the car so if it is an issue I'll bring it in to fix but I'd love to avoid time at a dealership.

Aftermarket radio, possibly tied in to an always hot power source?

Since Base models don't have screens, you have an after-market radio. You should be able to find a manual online. Download it and use it to check the wiring and configuration.

its the stock base model radio, it has a small red and black screen.
It can be seen the same model I have in the link.

It's possessed. You need an exorcist, lol.
My radio will stay on after I kill the engine, but only for 8 minutes, or until I open the door, whichever comes first. If you have any papers from the DPO, see if you can get in touch with them and ask about it? ...and any other quirks the car might have.

Ill give it a go tonight and see if i leave the radio on and check back to see if its also doing the 8 minute thing and I am just being inpatient.

Ah. Different kind of screen than what I thought.
