Radio On/Mini Off ??
Is this normal???
I was giving my interior a good cleaning a few minutes ago, really wiping down the nooks & crannys w/303 Protectant. When I was wiping down my HK ***** really well & BAM my radio came on . No keys in the ignition .
I have never had a car that the radio would come on with out a key in the ignition. Is this normal for the Mini or do I have a ghost

The radio will stay on w/o the key for approximately 20 minutes. "Convenient" when cleaning/detailing, and also good for annoying or confusing folks in the parking lot.

I swear my Mini had been off for way for than 20 minutes. I had lugged my vacuum out & vacuumed the Mini. I had 303'd the back seats & the front before I went at the radio controls. I will have to check the time out in the future. It still just freaks me out :impatient

Mine seems to have a 10 minute timer. Once the radio shuts off, just turn it back on and you'll have another 10 mins. Doesn't matter how long your Mini has been off.

20 minutes is how long it will stay on when you push the power button on the stereo not how long long it stays on after u turn your car off

This freaked me out a bit the other night when I was installing my downtube covers.. I thought I pinched a wire or something resetting the tubes.. but realized I had pressed the power. I think I put the key in the car to turn it off cause I really thought I'd broken something.
After I was finished and had everything put back together I went and pushed the power switch on purpose (just for reassurance) and sure enough on it went. I think its a cool feature and I'm sure I'll use it in the future.
