Bolero switching itself on - help

Featured Replies

Hi All users

I just bought 5year old Superb and have problem with Bolero radio.

For some reason the Bolero radio switches itself on.

Soon after I remove key from ignition barrel the radio turns off as it should but about a minute afterwards the radio switches itself on. When I turn it off manually it happens again, the radio switches on in about a minute (it is always the same interval - 66 seconds, so I suppose it is not some kind of short circuit).

I read loads of treads about it. It seems loads of people have similar issues but none of their suggestions help. No SD card in the reader, I tried with and without CDs, disactivating AUX in, checked throughout settings and there seem to be no option to stop it.

Once it turns on it goes to media and shows 'no media' message as there is nothing to play. I tried leaving CDs in, SD card in the reader. The stereo plays then music from media...

What could causing such malfunction?

The radio can drain battery over night so I need to keep removing fuse...

I am going to get the unit out this weekend so any suggestions much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi all

Brief update.

After connecting to the computer an error has been read, something to do with ignition switch pin s.

I read a little that this pin connects ignition to the radio so perhaps this the fault causing radio turning itself on...

I have made some research and it seems to be the hell of the job to replace ignition switch.

Could you please tell me if there is simple way to disconnect that pin to check if the problem with radio switching itself on persist?

I cannot find online guide how to get to the switch.

Could anyone guide me step by step how to get to it.

I was thinking to disconnect that pin to check if radio stops switching on.

Thanks
