Default Does Your C6 Do This?

I have an 05 MN6 1SA (base radio). When I start the car, the radio sounds like it turns on for a second and then turns off. I always turn off the radio before shutting down the car.

If I am in the car with the door closed, the car off, the lights on, and the radio off - all is quiet. If I open the door I hear the radio power up - I can tell by the horrible hissing sound - and then the ding ding ding. I can't wait to get my new Kenwood NAV installed.

Default Radio

I have an 06 A6. Sometimes when I start the car with the radio off, I hear a brief static like sound coming from the speakers. Someone else posted this question a while ago. I think it's a normal. There's a lot of electronic equipment coming to life when you start your car. Has your cell phone ever transmitted a sound through your radio when it rings in your car?

Dunno, I never turn the radio off before shutting down the car. I'll have to try it.

You can avoid this by fastening you seatbelt BEFORE you start the car.

Does that mean our cars have radioactive seatbelts?
