Hi, An unusual observation.

When I switch the car off the media unit continues to play until I open the drivers door - ok, I can deal with that even though I have never had it on any other vehicle but what is strange is the following...

I opened the front passenger door, and pressed the ignition button to power up my dash cam as I wanted to check something, media unit powered up and the night air was filled with delightful tunes. Two presses on the ignition button later and the car was off, media unit continued playing. I closed the passenger door and locked the vehicle - yup you guessed it, media unit still going for it. Waited a couple of minutes before unlocking and closing the drivers door to make it stop.

Why would you create a car that does this, I think the battery reset button will come in handy in the future?

Many people may drive to a destination, park up and wait in the vehicle. They may wish to hear some music.

If left on for more than a few minutes, there is a warning about battery discharge that appears on the display.
