Is this normal or am I missing something? I have connected all the appropriate cables to the harness everything is connected correctly. The Jetta does have an accessory position. I do see the warning in the installation instructions that stated that do not install in the car without an accessory setting. This is OK in the Jetta. But like I said, the radio seems to still be on, even after shutting the car off.

    A word of warning - the sound and features on this unit are great... But the screen is dogshit. Unless you're mounting this down low where it's shady, you're fucked. The screen is matt, so if the faintest bit of sunlight hits it, the screen completely washes out. Not the best when you're using it as a sat nav. The viewing angle is a bit shit too. And worst of all, no meaningful brightness setting to counteract any of this. Really disappointing because this is a great unit otherwise. I wouldn't recommend it unless you can find it sub £300.
