  • Radio auto off - disable

    so I’m just a little annoyed. Bucket loads of coin on a new car, and the dam radio turns off after 20 mins.
    Ive read other posts about disabling the chime (and will do the screw trick this weekend)
    but for my searching didn’t see how to get the radio to stay on regardless.
    toyota dealer at first service said it can’t be done (same with the door chime).

    I’ve had a second battery fitted 2 days ago, asked auto sparky to wire headset to second battery (2018 Kakadu) and he was not confident so didn’t do it - he had limited time as I’m off to Fraser tomorrow. He Was concerned without checking it out properly he may blow up the computer or potentially something else.

    Has anyone successfully wired the headset (and DVD player) to run independent of the ignition. I’d love to run both of the second battery. Then I can go camping and listen to music / radio as long as I want, and also watch a movie if the feeling takes me. If you have done it, a bit of info on what you did would be great. I have no idea about auto electrics, so be nice, and spell it out for us less or knowledgeable folk. Pictures would be great.

    I also would like to know if this is possible, I do heaps of camping and like to use the car radio but also when washing the car its nice to have some tunes pumping from the stereo.
    I have only owned my Prado for a week and its already annoying me. Also I want to disconnect the radio so it doesn't know when I'm travelling, I would like to be able to change which device is connected to the Bluetooth whilst I'm driving along. I know these are only small issues but after paying so much money these things should be optional!

      If you leave the car in neutral the radio won't turn off after 20min, it will play indefinitely.Unfortunately it won't stop the door chine. Just make sure you chock the wheels if you're not parked on flat ground as the Toyota handbrake is average to say the least.

        The radio does more than just play music so I'd not be inclined to wire it to the AUX.

        To get longer play time, shut down the engine with the transmission in Drive or N and then shift to Park - seems to work on mine but ive not timed how long it lasts...
        Cheers
