Problem overview

Some INFINITI QX70 owners report experiencing issues with their radio turning on automatically after the engine is off, particularly following a battery replacement. This problem may be attributed to faulty wiring connections that can unexpectedly activate the radio, as well as broader electrical system issues that cause spontaneous power-ups. Additionally, after a battery change, the radio may require a reset, leading to unexpected activation. Some owners have found that keeping the ignition in the "ACC" position after shutting off the engine allows the radio to remain on until manually turned off or the door is opened. To address these concerns, it is recommended to check for loose wires, reset the radio if necessary, and experiment with the ignition position. If these solutions do not resolve the issue, consulting a professional mechanic or dealership for further diagnosis may be advisable.
