Radio Readyness & Lights Left On Alarm

ksharpe1 · 05-21-2011, 10:56 AM

Can anyone explain the logic of this:

E92 2011 325d M Sports Coupe

Driving with lights on therefore radio readyness is on.
Stop car switch off, remove fob i.e. radio readyness is turned off
Forget to switch of lights
Visual & audible alarms are generated. HOW !!!

How come you get the audible alarm as I thought these were provided by the H.U/Radio.

Please someone answer this as I am about to relocate the H.U/Radio to the boot/trunk shortly.

Simply because the audio (radio/cd) functions are turned off does not mean that it is not generating the alerts. It remains powered in the background

Thanks for the reply !!
However are you saying that the radio still consumes power even when its turned off or in the radio readiness state?
Or does the radio completely turn off after some delay ??

as far as i know it is powered any time that the car might be prone to give alerts (i.e. after unlocking, opening doors, etc).
