Wife just walked in and asked "why are you playing your radio so loud?" I'm like "what are you talking about, you can't play the radio without the key being in the ignition." Silly me - the thing is blasting all by itself. Have to insert the key, turn on the car, then turn it off. Great, another unadvertised feature. . .

OMG, I don't believe this! Day before yesterday, the same thing happened to me. Came out from work and radio blasting. I probably had it on when I removed the key but didn't recall. That's not a valid reason though why it would do this. This had never occurred before and is somewhat disconcerting. The only thing different in my routine that day is that I visited the car twice that day to get something out of the glove box. The key was never put back in the ignition but the key was needed to a) open the car (remote) and to unlock the glove box.
Ok, I'll say it: this is bizzare and unacceptable behavior from our babies!

I wonder if we can establish a pattern?

What is the version of the software in your vehicle with this happening?
