To me it sounds like a fault with the head unit its self mate, time for a replacement, oh and to get them to turn off with the key is normally a case of swapping over the red and yellow wires on the back of the unit if its an aftermarket jobby and it doesn't work with the standard wiring Smile

I also have a funny feeling that there is possibly a jumper fuse that allows you to have the radio stay on with the keys off but I might be thinking of the cig lighter or there may be two, who knows, lol

yeah not bad for 35 quid has been in a volvo s40, renault megane, pug 206, and now finally my 306,


Re: Cd player keeps switching its self on - 4WayDiablo - 17-01-2012

Theres a fuse in the fusebox that if you move down one notch it keeps the cd player on without the keys in the ignition. It might be a combo of that and the above mentioned 2 red and yellow wires.. constant live and ignition live

Or get a new HU lol :-)


Re: Cd player keeps switching its self on - Hitchos - 18-01-2012

think i will leave the fuse alone like ive said before me and electronics dont mix


Re: Cd player keeps switching its self on - 4WayDiablo - 18-01-2012

If you take a pic of your fusebox i can tell :-) its one of the fuses on the far left
