Right, i have figured out that the radio remains on and i am unable to lock the car with the key fob if I originally unlock the car by pressing the drivers side button on outer door handler, this unlocks drivers door only. Then when I finish using the car radio does not go off when door is opened and cant lock with key fob.

If I open the car originally with keyfob or button on outer handle of passenger side then no problem.

Any reason for this?

Thanks

This thread seems pretty pointless; regards selective unlocking, suggest you read your owner's manual to explain things.

I dont see why it is a pointless thread, I have an issue that I cant figure out how to resolve and what you have posted hasnt helped at all.

I have now turned off selective lock, have made 2 x journeys since.

Journey 1 - unlock car by drivers door handle button, drive, park, handbrake on, engine off, open car door, radio turns off automatically
Journey 2 - unlock car by drivers door handle button, drive, park, handbrake on, engine off, open car door, radio stays on and only turns off when car is locked

Nothing was done differently yet the radio still decides to stay on of its own accord - randomly.

Therefore my question and thread still remain....

Being a constant 'fault' would make it easier to rectify, but as it's intermittent it's more difficult. May just be a case of needing the software re flashing. Is it possibly a faulty door switch, the one that activates the internal lights on opening the doors?

Thanks, I will get them to double check when it goes in next week.

I still dont get it, its just random. I have turned off the selective locking and I pressed the button on the door to unlock and when I got to my destination and got out tried to lock with the key fob and the car just beeps at me and I cannot lock it without pressing the button on the handle.

Do another journey and repeat the above and the car locks fine. What is the beeping all about?

Do one journey and the radio auto shuts off when door opens, do another one and it stays on and only turns off if radio on/off is pressed or when car is locked.

It is so strange.

Sounds more like a battery issue, or a loose ground connection somewhere.

I will ask them to double check it all next week.....I have my list ready :-)

Do you know why/when the car would beep at you when locking? I was under the impression it would be if you were trying to lock the car with the key still inside, but thats obviously not the case as I am trying to lock it with the keyfob which is in my hand.
