Strange Radio

HI all
My Jenson radio occasionally turns itself on.
The 5er is in storage and has not been used for over 2 weeks. On Saturday the storage owners phoned me to say he could hear the radio from outside the trailer. We went over and sure enough the radio was on. The batteries are fully charged thanks to a 130w solar panel. Tapped into the radios permanent 12v memory line is a feed to a proactive tracker system which is monitored 24/7. This setup has been in service for over 3 years with no problems until recently.
I am not an electrical expert, so any thoughts would be welcome

  • My brother had a jenson on his 2014 forest river fiver that would turn itself on.Ended up getting it replaced under warranty and all is good now.Very frustrating at the time for him but it was just a faulty unit in the end.

    Our Jenson does, on the right hand side of the radio, guess how I know this :B
  • Does it have a remote control? Someone Could have turned it on from outside.
