182 Radio Randomly Turns On When Ignition Is off



  Clio 182
My 182 has decided develop quite a strange issue - the radio randomly decides to power on when the ignition is off and the car's locked!

I do have an aftermarket Sony unit fitted, however the original radio display/ clock also powers on as well, so I don't see it being an issue with the head unit. Pulled it out last night and had a quick look at the wiring, but I can't see anything obvious. One thing which is particularly strange is that if I pull the radio fuse, then its dead when the ignition is on. However, after 10 minutes of having the car parked up, the radio powers back on even with the fuse pulled! So I guess it's managing to get power from else where...

Anyone come across this issue before?

Must be getting backfed from something, any weird wiring going on elsewhere or anything else hooked in?

I had the the same problem with the original head unit.my solution was to rip it out.
