Are you saying that they say that it is an RF problem due to your  
vehicle?

What is the mode?

I wonder why mine will do this with the engine off, no key in the  
ignition, and a direct connection to th battery. The only way it could  
be less connected to the car would be if I had a separate battery and  
disconnected the car radio power.
