Driving me nuts and I can't find out why, every time I start the car the radio comes on, doesn't matter if I've had it on or off previously, it always comes on when I start the engine. :evil:

Could some kind soul tell me how to stop it please?

There are other posts on the forum regarding this and quite a few people have this issue. I have just checked and if turned off my radio is off on re-entering car so it is obviously a fault and not meant to happen.

Been doing some testing...!

I believe this is related to auto start/stop.

I turned off auto SS, turned off the radio, parked, turned off the engine the old fashioned way then restarted - the radio stayed off.

With auto SS on I turn the radio off pull up, stop with the foot brake, auto SS kicks in engine goes off, about 5 seconds later the radio comes on again but goes off once I open the door to exit. When I restart the engine the radio comes on automatically.

No idea if this is a fault or a feature but I'm sure that's the answer as I can replicate it 10 times out of 10 - can anyone else test and confirm?

Interesting, I'll check it tomorrow.

Had a demonstrator out on Saturday for a couple of hours and it did this too. Very annoying. There must be a way to turn it off but no handbook with the car.

Tried that, but got back in and started and the radio was on... Hmm.

I tried it literally straight away, this morning when I got in the car it was doing it again - so I guess back to the drawing board - maybe it will be sorted in a future software update

Mine is o.k., stays off so must be an issue with some cars but not all.

Mine does it with the autostart on but not with it off... so far!

Standard system vs your meridien?

 

[Rogerone]

Same problem here, standard entertainment system, very annoying

 

[Potatoe Farmer]

there are loads of settings, it must be a tick box option how it operates on engine start?

 

[KaikouraDiscoSport]

I will get the options that the dealer can set by Tuesday, hope this is one of the items that dealers can programme

 

[rtdf]

My dealer said it happens.. others at dealerhip who drive them have noticed.. they weren't aware of the fix..
I thought mine was sorted earlier, but noticed it was no reception on DAB..

 

[Potatoe Farmer]

I have found we loose DAB reception, we live in Kent on the outskirts of London, so this should not really be a problem in terms of reception?

Have you checked if it is happening when you brake, that's the issue with mine and it is booked in next Friday for sorting.
