mhinch Member Date registered: Jul 2016 Location: Lewisville, NC Vehicle(s): 2002 G500 Posts: 15 | 2002 G500 Command radio - stays on when key left in This has me baffled.........Why does the radio stay on when I shut the truck off and even open the door, exit the vehicle and close the door? I like to leave the key in the ignition as I park in the garage and I am used to the radio on my Suburban turning off when I open the drivers door. Do I have to manually shut the radio off if I want to leave the key in the ignition? Boy, that's about as bass ackwards as its got to be! Someone please 'splain to me how I can leave my key in the ignition after turning the vehicle off and have the radio shut itself off when I exit the vehicle. Many thanks! | ||

I suspect one of two things: 1. The G has a time out feature to allow one to turn the electronic key to position zero but still conduct a call or listen to the entertainment system for about 5-10 minutes or 2. The G sees the electronic key in position zero and starts to initiate and sustain systems for start and creature comforts. If this is correct, I bet the owners manual has a caution about running the battery down by leaving the key in position zero. | ||

Best I remember is that the radio does eventually time out and turn off. As to leaving the key in the switch, that might not be a good idea. I think just removing the key and reinserting it will solve this problem. However, I have told my wife to not leave the key in her new MLE due to the fact that it locks at the touch of a door handle. It has happened to her once. The 2002 will auto lock the doors if you lock it once, then unlock it. Within a few minutes it will lock the doors. Don't get caught with your key down!!!! LOL | ||
