as it says above realy

aswell as the trusty omega ( well its still cutting out) my wife now has an astra auto (p erg 1.4 16v) i have only owned the vehicle two weeks amd there is one main niggle

if we use turn off the engine, the radio turns off. if we then go back to the car and look through the window for open the car, the radio has decided to turn itself back on

i have heared for the later astra (g) unit doing this and owners having them replaced by vauxhall under warranty.

the cdr500 i have in the car came from ebay with all manuals and codes. it was out of an astra of the same age.

at moment no unit is in the dash so battery wont go flat.

i open the floor to you all

thanks

Seems to be a common fault, ours developed a habit of turning on during the night which upset the neighbours as the car was on their drive whilst I relaid mine.
Fault was a leaky transistor in the on/off circuit. Try Dave DND if you are not electronically competant youself.
