I purchased my 2002 S2000 back in Dec with ~3000 miles. Everything seems great except sometimes when I turn off the key the radio does not shut off. It is not everytime and I have not found out if it is different if the door is open when I turn off the car or if the door is closed. I guess the first question is, Does Honda have a thing where the radio stays on for a while or does it always turn off when you turn off the key? I could not find anything in the manual or when I did a search.

I do not know if the previous owner had a after market stereo in it before. Thanks for the help!

That is odd

 

that doesn't seem right to me....

 

The S2000 doesn't have retained accessory power like many cars do.

If the previous owner had an alarm with a remote start, it may have added RAP to the car. I know my Clifford remote start on my beater adds the RAP.

However, if the unit was removed when he/she sold the car, it shouldn't still be there.

 

Thanks for the input. Today there was no problems and the radio shut off immediatly when I turned off the car. The other day I was able to remove the key, press the door lock on the keychain and finally press the unlock before the radio turned off. I am installing a CD changer this weekend, maybe I can see somthing when I pull everything apart. Thanks again!
