Car Stereos: Car stereo Fiat Bravo 2007, fiat bravo 2007, factory radio


Question
I find answer about auto switching off car stereo in FIAT Bravo but I don't understand.

Please, I have a FIAT BRAVO 2007 year, when I switch off vehicle and pull out a key the Car stereo is still active. I must switch off stereo by press button for volume.

Stereo system is original by FIAT, vehicle is in Dynamic equipment.

Please help me to find solution for auto switching off my stereo when I leave my vehicle. Greetings

Hello,

Unfortunately, I don't have access to wiring information for European vehicles.  Your Bravo is not sold in the North American market, so it's not one that I'm familiar with.

In some vehicles, the radio is designed to stay on after you turn off the key, until you open a door.  If the radio does not turn off when the door is opened, it's possible that the door switch is defective.  This would prevent the vehicle from detecting when the door is opened.  One way to test this would be to see if the interior lighting comes on when the door is opened.

If this is an after-market radio, you can check the voltage on the accessory power wire.  The accessory wire should have voltage when the key is on, and no voltage when the key is off.  In most after-market head units, this is a red wire.  (If you have the original factory radio, the wire may be a different color; or it might use a different method of switching the radio on and off).  

Sorry I can't be more helpful!
