Default Anyone having this problem with window valet?

mine is possessed....when activating the key fob the windows go down/up with radio on/off as its supposed to, no problem. But the radio which is supposed to always stay on after the ignition is turned off does so intermittently, whenever it feels like it. Anyone else have this problem, or a solution to it? Thanks.....

I had that problem a long time ago, all I did was reprogram everything...just start from scratch like you did wheh you first got it. I have a TV remote that did the same thing...it's all about the 'progress' of the digital age...

As I recall there is also an option in the valet for the radio. I imagine that when locking the doors normally (one press of the FOB) it will work off the vehicle settings, and press the FOB 3 times to roll up windows it will work of the valet settings (which may be set to off). So as said before go through the settings and reprogram the aux power setting to make sure it's set the way you want it.

One more thing to try is unplugging it and plugging it back in, mine acted up before and that worked
