Does anyone find it weird that the radio stays on when you turn
off your ignition button? Turns off when I open the door. I find it a
tad annoying.

Just wondering if that's the norm or if there's a way to disable it...

Cheers

Every other car I've owned the radio shuts up when ignition is turned off. To be fair though...yeah
they were all pre-2000 cars.

It's normal, mang. Program it out? I don't know. Worth searching for an answer? No.

No way to program it out. Main reason it stays on is that if you are using the hands free phone you can continue to conversation with the car turned off while sitting in the car, also the power windows(except sunroof) will have power until you open the door.

[confuse][screwy]...really? And just as an aside, even if you sit in the car after shutting it off, it only stays on for about 10-15 minutes or until you open the door. Not long enough to make an appreciable dent in the battery, unless your battery is already in bad shape.

That makes sense. Cheers for the educated answer.

I have the opposite issue in me 2011 ses. It's a push button start and when the button is pressed to turn the engine OFF (to accessory mode), the radio turns off. Is there a way to reprogram/rewire it so the radio stays on until the car is actually fully off?

Decade+ year old thread.

If it's a 2011, I don't think it's an ST ??

Was it started by holding the remote against the steering column?

If there are codes set in the BCM, it can disable a number of features including delayed power off.
