Unhappy Kenwood DDIN, Metra - Radio Cuts off by itself


Okay so here's the Problem. I have a Kenwood Double Din and the Metra Kit installed. Everything works great, no problems whatsoever except:

When I turn of the vehicle - the first time - The rings around the speedometer stay iluminated and the radio stays on - as long as I dont open the door. - everything good.

After the first time I've done this, ergo I put the key back in, start the car back up, turn it back of, pull the key - the radio and the dome light shut off within about 10 seconds. The dome light, has the nice fade, but the radio crackles for a half second, like power was just janked from it. Also the rings around the Speedometer aren't lit....

Anybody have an Idea of what I'm talking about? lol.

The radio will still remain on until the driver's side door is opened, once the door is opened, it will kill any accessories.

I have a Metra/Kenwood setup and I don't have any problems. Who installed the radio? It seems like you may have something wired incorrectly.

It's a premature cut of error, appearantly fixed by an update. I'm in touch with Metra and I'll update when I've tried their solution.
