Radio alway's on?? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Ok guy's and gal's I need a favor...next time you get in your car try to put the radio on without using the key.

I know it sounds strange but today mine did just that. I was sitting in my car and I was going to check time, I meant to hit the info button but hit the power and it actually came on.

When the key is in and radio is on, it will go off with the key but I can put it right back on. I even waited past the 10 min run down time.

I never noticed this before because I always turn off radio manually before I get out.

The radio, onstar and my bluetooth will conect when I push the power button.

Could this possibly be normal?? Someone please check theirs.

Thanks

This is a feature enabled by the new GM Electrical Architecture in the 2010 Camaro.

Nice feature if you happen to need or want your radio on without having the key.

Started with the GTO made it to the G8 and now is in the Camaro. Those Australians must need to listen to the radio without a key.lol
I find it comes in handy though, I like it but I will be sure to keep my windows up.

Who leaves their car with the windows rolled down? Esp a nice care like the camaro! I mean even at the lowest its about 23 grand...I can't see someone paying that much for a car and then neglecting it like that.
