Radio Does Not Turn Off At Key Out - keywords accessory audio CD30 CD40 door entertainment ignition infotainment key logic performance program open on power radio rap

This PI was superseded to address the difference between CD30 and CD40 programming. Please discard PIC4808.

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

A technician may comment that the radio does not turn off at key out and/or the radio stays on longer than 20 minutes during RAP.

The radio in the Astra is user programmable under the "SETTINGS" menu to allow the radio to play after key out (for 1 hour) or to turn off with key out. This feature is called "IGNITION LOGIC". The factory default setting is "ON" which will turn the radio ON and OFF with the ignition key. The radio can always be turned on manually by pressing the power button. The radio will remain on for 1 hour.

Follow one of the procedures below depending upon which radio is present, CD30 or CD40.

IGNITION LOGIC ON: Radio turns ON and OFF automatically with ignition switch.

TO ACCESS THIS FEATURE: CD30

With radio ON, press the "SETTINGS" button. Then press the left (<) "ARROW" button until the "SYSTEM" menu displays. From this menu press the "OK" button until "IGNITION LOGIC ON" or "IGNITION LOGIC OFF" displays. Then press left (<) or right (>) "ARROW" button to select the desired setting. The setting is saved automatically. Exit the system men

TO ACCESS THIS FEATURE: CD40

With radio ON, press the "MAIN" button on the radio face and then press the "SETTINGS" button, this will bring up the menu options. From this menu you should be able to see if the "IGNITION LOGIC" selection has the box checked/filled. To change, scroll down to the "IGNITION LOGIC" menu option and make the desired selection.

IGNITION LOGIC ON

Checking the box selects the "TURN RADIO ON/OFF VIA IGNITION LOGIC" option. With this selected the radio will shut off when the key is removed from the ignition lock cylinder and will turn on the next time the key is turned to the accessory position. NOTE: The radio can still be turned on manually with the key removed by pressing the power button. The radio will remain on for 1 hour or until the power button is pressed again.

IGNITION LOGIC OFF:

Un-checking the box selects the "TURN ON RADIO VIA ON/OFF BUTTON ONLY" option. With this selection the radio will not shut off when the key is removed from the ignition cylinder. The radio can be turned off manually by pressing the power button, or it will shut off automatically after 1 hour.

Note: The radio will not turn on when the ignition switch is turned to the accessory position; it must be turned on with the power button.

Note: THE RADIO WILL TURN ON ANY TIME THE POWER BUTTON IS PUSHED, EVEN WITH THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE RADIO WILL REMAIN ON FOR 1 HOUR UNLESS THE RADIO IS TURNED OFF MANUALLY.

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
