audi bose radio safe mode

[robert weinberg]

LOL!

this car is a little bitch when it comes to batteries. i eventually replaced the one that i bought the car with. but even with a fresh interstate - the battery will still be weak if not driven for 2 weeks. used to suck it dry after 1 week, until i had the epiphany that the stock alarm system was probably draining it. which it was. so, i leave the car unlocked in the garage nowadays.

why do i lock the car  when it's in a locked garage you say? because i live in oakland, ca ;-)

see ya,
Robby

Bob,
If your car's battery can't survive an hour or two with a (non-playing) radio turned on, and/or if you can't remember to turn it off after 2 hours, then you may have more serious problems than you realize... ;-)
