Sitting waiting in Car yet again, waist of time putting radio on unless I leave ignition on. I like BBC Radio 2 for the memorable 70's 80's.
Anyone did a bypass so radio stays on, or know the wire to power up.
Car, Grand Voyager LTD 2003 2.5 CRD.

 

My previous Voyager, a 2004 2.5 TD manual box, had a button near the ignition switch which had to be pressed to remove the key. On that model you could press the button in and then turn the key to an AUX position so you could keep the radio on with the ignition off. Unfortunately my 2007 2.8 auto doesn't have that capability

 

Yes that's right i have 2003 grand voyager 2.5 diesel you just press the button in behind the key then turn the Ign key anticlockwise you,ll feel a little click and that,s it,.. i had that same problem when i first had mine till i found out... easy when you know how

 

Thanks Guys, I've now got it.

 

So you didn't know about the AUX position goggsy?

 

All cars have an accessory position. Accessed by turning the key rearward past the off position; wipers, heater, windows, radio, etc will all function but the ignition is off.

 

My 2007 2.8 Auto doesn't.

 

My 2007 2.8 Auto does

- it does or should have, it just does not have the [press] button
- if you are in the AUX position, you can't withdraw the key and leave the IGN on and leeching power

 

What I should have said was, NO it doesn't have a button, YES it does have an AUX position but NO, with the key in the AUX position the radio switches off after 1 minute.
