Jeep after market radio won't turn off
This happened to me also, after my son and i put in a new battery in his 2007 Grand Cherokee Jeep, I did as Madcrackeroo said and just pluged up the old factery radio and the recycled the door opening and the factory radio shut off then re-pluged up the alpine and all was back to normal. I guess it just resets the computer somehow. Thanks for the help
I know what the problem is here but I do NOT know how to fix it... other than running a new KEY control wire from the fusebox. BUT the problem is DODGE GAY A$$ security features. NOW COME ON WHO THE H&LL WANTS TO STEAL A FACTORY RADIO? COME ON PEOPLE!!!
I found this out the hard way. installed an Alpine into my Mother-In-Law's dodge 1500 ram and had the same issue. rehooked the orig radio back in
and I navigated to SHUTDOWN radio Security... AHHHHH
then installed the Alpine.. IT WORKED
shuts off with the key etc.. nice
6 months later she has a new battery installed.. the radio DOES IT AGAIN
the security re-enabled. it will NOT shut off with the key
I contacted PAC PARTS and no one has emailed me back
so the solution is.. RUN A NEW WIRE from the fuse box to the RED WIRE of your radio harness. be sure it is a keyed fuse you jump off of

I know this thread is a little dated, but just in case someone comes searching for this information...
Most of the CANBUS adapters must be initialized before first use, and after power is lost (battery goes dead, is disconnected, etc).
An excerpt from the instructions for the Axxess unit I used in my truck:
This procedure MUST be done first thing after power is restored to the vehicle, or your radio will stay powered on even after you turn your vehicle off.
I disconnected my battery to "reset" the truck's computer, then performed this initialization, and everything worked perfectly.

I cant get my dapter to work. Do we plug in everything including the new headunit and turn the key on to initialize it. or just plug in the canbus adapter and not the new headunit, initialize it for 30 seconds and then plug in the radio? darn im confused and my new radio wont work..........what a buzz kill.
thanks,
tom

Return of the necrothread...LoL
In general, you'll plug everything in and then initialize the unit. It may work without the radio plugged in. I don't know, never tried that. If your radio will not turn ON however, you have a different issue altogether, and I would recommend starting a new thread so we can help you out.

Alright I know that this is an old forum but I am really struggling with my stereo staying on. I even struggled before getting it installed, on installing it, because it wouldn't turn on at first. I'm not sure what to do, but my 2008 nitro is currently dead. Like I had to manually unlock it. Idk what to do and I'm about done with this vehicle
