Is it on all the time engine running or not?  If it is, the switched radio ignition wire is shorted to a hot wire.

Subject: Kenwood Stereo turn itself on? SVC.

So I'm currently on a road trip. Right now, while sitting in my westy outside of the coin op laundry in Belfair WA, I look up at my stereo and am reminded of a strange incident.

At about 2:10 AM, camping at Schafer state park in WA, my Kenwood kdc-mp342u or 242u, stereo:

turned itself on! Suddenly Tower Of Power is screaming at me!

Anyone have this happen? Why would his happen? The remote does not have an on, off function, nothing jostled the van.

No time pieces stopped running, no known contact with mother ship.

Neil.
