it won't in a punto either.

it's because the power feeds are permanent. easiest way round it is to run a seperate power wire from the back of the cig lighter or something that's switched with the key.

We've got a fiat doblo and there is a setting which turns the radio off after a certain amount of time.
I know its not a guy think but you will just have to read the manual

Have hire cars through work and get the odd Astra. Have to say I am not a fan at all. Anyway, back to the thread. Stereo in those doesnt turn itself off either. Keys out, doors locked, walk away, come back ages later, stereo still on?
Rather annoying when you get out the car in a hurry, keys and yourself out in one movement, only to discover you have to get back in to turn the stereo off!!
