Has anyone had issues after this has been installed where the radio volume increases all the way when the car is turned off but the radios still on?

No. Sounds as if the unit was either installed incorrectly or may be defective.

Yes. The unit wouldn't automatically sense the car I installed it in and did the same thing. I had to manually program every function.

my guess is that you need to "program" it again, had a simaler problem and reprogramed it to the radio and works great now.Ranco

Bryan, I'm not an expert at any of this. Only once did I have any problem of this type. It came aboutafter I had re-set my wieless modem. I un plugged my radio for awhile and went back to defaultsettings . It found the signal and no problems since. I would check into the signal you are getting. ( if wireless) I'm still very pleased with this radio. It appears you are getting about the same advice Ted

No. Connect to a fuse that turns off with the ignition and is not overloaded with other things such as the radio and you will be fine. I did this 2 years ago and have had no issues.

You have a constant, a negative, and a switch. So when you turn on and off the switch the stereo turns on and off. This way it's never left on. Tap into any power supply that has to do with the ignition turning on. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Did you program the radio yet? I just two of these and the same thing happened to but until I uploaded new frequencies following the instructions at http://www.miklor.com/BF888/

You might need to reduce a little bit the box where the radio fits with a knive or something... it should not be a problem to you... it happens with all the radios you can buy unless its the factory one... go ahead...

Yes same thing happened to me. I ended up returning my unit. I went to the audio store to see if it happened to other units and it did. I would turn up the volume and the sound would cut out and not come back on unless I power cycled my head unit.

I have exactly the same problem with my radio, which basically renders it USELESS in my area. They should warn customers before hand that this is the situation. Send it back for a refund if you can.

Mine also hums but just when setting there, as soon as I turn on the radio on the humming quits. It did hum one time and all I had to do was turn off then back on.

I had the same issue. I believe it is a function that is not included in the head unit. I just had to get used to it.

Mine is working fine. I had it professionally installed. I know for a fact that if things are chiming in your car it is not the stereo but the vibes from it that causes anything that is loose to chime and rattle. Look at your surroundings an tighten up screws etc., this may help.

It's all in the wiring ....the antenna should go up and down when the radio is switched on and off..not if the car is on or off. If the antenna deploys when the car is on and the radio is of..it's wired wrong.

has nothing to do with the radio, it has its own speaker. It has a major design flaw, its turns on and off automaticlly by movement. Getting in the car turns it on and getting out turns it off. But it will also go on and off when you hit a bump, or if you mount it on the steering wheel everytime you turn it will go on and off.

if you hook it straight to the battery the radio will stay on when you turn the car off and you'll have to turn the radio off each time. if you use the red wire on the fuse box it will shut off each time you turn the car off. the volume button on your radio will adjust determ and your Bluetooth. I hope this helps you.

Mine has never shut off! We listen to Internet Radio 24/7/365. Shut off occurs because of the web site or because of an automatic update from Microsoft. We don't listen to many albums! I agree with the need to make the adjustment to get whole house reception, plus in the driveway!

Funny to just get this... I have been having trouble with my radio for a year now. It keeps tripping the fuse under my hood. I went to Best Buy to see if they could check to see if it was grounded improperly and the technician said that this particular radio is very sensitive and has had so many issues that best buy no longer carries it. He said it would have been better to buy a cheap pioneer radio than this one.... sorry for bad news but something to look into. I can't return mine but if you are in the warranty window the installer said to get a refund or exchange quickly... your problems with start mounting... Funny to just get this...

My unit does because my vehicle plug ins also shut off when I turn the car off. You need to check to see if yours does the same.
