jorgepaulino Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Hello members, i have ford fiesta st-line mk8. but can someone tell me how we can turn off the radio completely, light, sound, etc., (like when you close the car it turns off, the FORD symbol appears.) to avoid running out of battery. Because if you press the on / off button, you just turn off the sound and not the radio entirely. Only turn off the radio completely if you lock the car or open a door. I know that if you click on the right button it will turn off the displayscreen but I intend to turn off even the radio display. Thank You.

unofix Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I have to ask ............ Why would you want to ?, Why would you run out of battery ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorgepaulino Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 not just wanting to know if there is a way to turn off the display and not being in satnd by, because when I stop the car and turn it off, the radio is playing only if the display turns off if someone opens the door or I lock the car. I wanted to be in the car for example and turn off the display / radio so as not to be running out of battery, I know that after a while he ends up switching off on his own, but I wanted to do it myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need to fix your formatting. I don't think there is a way to turn it off, and it will never drain the battery so stop making a mountain out of a molehill. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsk Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 A few years back I bought a band new Fiesta. After a couple of weeks the battery went flat. Got it recharged and it went flat again. Contacted the ford dealership and explained the situation and was told it was a known problem and they were waiting for a software update to rectify it. In the meantime while I waited for the update they said to leave the radio on when I shut down and locked the car. This worked and since then every new Fiesta I have bought since I leave the radio on even if I am not listening to it, just turn the volume to zero. Doing this I have never had a problem with the battery draining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
