Title: Keep Stereo Powered when door opened
Post by: Spud122 on 17 April 2018, 13:54

Is there any way to change have the stereo stay on when the drivers door is opened, and instead it to code so it powers off when you lock?
Definitely a minor issue, but would be handy when stopping for fuel or popping into a shop etc whilst others remain in the car.
Anyone done this or know if its possible.

cheers

Not as convenient but can you not just hit the power button when you open the door and the stereo goes off?
That's what I do if I have passengers.

Pretty sure mine cuts out when the key is removed from the ignition, not when a door is opened?

Maybe he has keyless as that's how it works on that.

Didn’t think of that - quite likely.

Hi Yes, I have Keyless. With the door handles deactived.  :smiley:

Its one of those minor details.
 
In the good old days you would leave the key in the car and Stereo would remain powered.
