Strange Radio Question
« on: 19 June 2016, 03:23:46 »

Ok, this is a complete weird question.

My omega is a 2001 2.6 Auto Estate

Went out this afternoon shopping and got home around 5pm, car parked on drive as usual, shopping removed and car locked. All windows shut and radio/cd turned off!!!!

Visitors arrived about 8.30 nothing usual outside, visitors left as 12.30 and notices stereo on the car booming out music. Unlocked car, turned radio off and relocated car.

Went to bed and woke at 3.15am to music blaring out outside, here's me thinking I wish that taxi would piss off only to realise/dawn on me is it my car. Locked out of the window and could see radio lights on through car window. Went down opened car sure enough it was on and blaring out.

Turned radio off, turned engine on then off and radio on. Turned volume down and turned radio on/off multiple times, no issues. Got out locked car and no radio.

What would cause the radios/cd to come on of its own accord, is this even possible???

Aliens? A couple of nights ago my car alarm lights were flashing,  about 3am, but no alarm noise. Checked car switched off alarm with remote no further problem but as I have posted earlier  my car radio also went haywire at about the same time..

My SIL had a similar issue, on a Corsa, and I'm pretty sure it was something to do with Traffic news!  :o

I think she cured it by initially making sure she left a CD playing when powering down the car.

Don't think the car stayed in her possession for long after that.  :D

Yes the power sounder was removed before I got it five years ago. Once I'd started the engine and turned it off then locked car it didn't do it again. It's a bit strange.
