Hi,

Recently my 2019 fiesta stereo has stopped coming on automatically when I start the car, I have to switch it on manually.

It turns off ok on its own when I stop the car and open the door.

Not a big issue but still frustrating!! Any ideas??

    Hi easily done im guessing you may off turned off the ignition and removed your key the stereo kept playing so you manually turned it off, similarly when you got back in because you manually turned it off it didn't come back on until you pressed the button.

    What you will find is that the radio switches itself off only when you open the door. If you let it turn itself off this way it will turn back on next time you start the ignition

    So I tried letting it turn itself off (i.e. turning the car off and opening the door), but then when I restart the car the stereo doesn’t come back on-I still need to switch it on manually?
