Radio Problem...

[Toddy86]

When I get in the car and turn on the ignition the radio wont come on, I have to press the power button. Then when its on, around every 20 mins it will beep and turn off on its own, unless I press the power button again. I will then have to turn the radio off when I turn the ignition off as well.

Any ideas whats going on?

It’s the standard radio.

It’s the standard radio.

Tbh I don't know f**k all about radios, but I knew I'd heard before about the radio turning off after 20 mins.
From what I can gather it's something to do with not having a permanent live to your radio.
Hence why you can listen to the radio for 20 mins with the ignition off then it beeps and turns itself off.
When you turn the ignition off the radio stays on? If so, for how long? 20 mins?
Maybe that's what you need to do to set the radio to turn on / off automatically?
This is from the original book supplied with my 182.

Yes I see what you mean, its like it doesn't realise the car is on. I will take the radio out and have a look. But that makes sense. Thanks

@Toddy86 - this thread might help? Might just be a missing fuse as mentioned?

Stereo permanent live help??

Wonder if anyone can offer any help, I have an issue with my Ph2 172 Cup losing stereo pre-set stations and the clock (time) resetting every time ignition is turned on. I have removed stereo and the yellow wire which should be permanent live is dead. The ignition live (red) works fine. Does...
