Hi ever since I got my fd the radio can be turned on with out key turn to acc. or on, dont know why but it didn't bother me that much. I drove the car like that for since 2002 and no problem. Recently my radio starts to turn off and back on by itself when I am driving. And it turns out the radio only turns off when the rad. fan turns on. What is going on, which wires are crossed that could cause this. Thanks for helping.

 

anyone know whats causing this?

 

sounds like you need to pull the radio and install it the correct way first. put the memory wire to constant power and the power wire to a switched source. all of wich are right in the bin

 

When I used to have the bose headunit it will work without the key also. The pioneer one I have installed about 1.5 yr ago worked fine without turning off by itself when the rad. fan comes on; so, I am think its something that happend recently, NYC's road knocked some wires loose or something.
