CD Player Question...

[Avant_Dave]

Have noticed that the CD Player in Avant doesn't seem to switch it's self off even when there's no key in the ignition! It's the player that takes 6 discs into the single slot on the centre console. Even when the player is turned off and the key's out of the ignition the player continues to make a sound like it's counting or shuffling the discs it has. Is this normal? I'd been sat in the car for a while and it still made these noises so it wasn't like it was turning off slowly. Anyone any ideas...?

Does it just make these noises for a little while or for a long while? Mine is the single disc Concert unit & it often makes noises for a few secs after shutting off the ignition, but it does stop & not suddenly make noises after a while! Can you turn the unit on with the key removed from the ignition? If not then all will be well, and you dont have a cross over on the permanent & ignition operated power sources. All radio units have a permanent power supply anyway to allow for system shut downs & remembering your settings.

It's normal for a slight delay while the unit powers down. You should be able to turn on the unit without the key for about 1 hour, then it will power off again to prevent battery failure.

(Handy if you want your 1 hour luch break in the car as well!)

Have you tried taking out all the discs & trying that, I have same system & mine always takes longer to read a CD in slot 1

On my stereo in my vRS there is an option to have it stay on or turn off when the key is removed.

Maybe this is a simple change of a setting.
