i would like the radio to stay on when i switch the engine off , without having to re press the ignition button again. Can it be done.

My radio stays on after I switch the engine off either until I take the key out or automatically for 10 minutes. When this happens I just press the radio button and it comes on again for another 10 minutes. I can do this a number of times but I don't know if there is a limit. Sometimes after several radio re-starts, when I start the engine the radio switches itself off then I just press the radio button and it returns to normal.

I dont have to use a key , 2013 HSE, .

I just press the big on/off button on the radio on my MY13 GS. No need for ignition on

all i want to do is be able to switch the engine off when i stop, and leave the radio on.
it is that simple, on every other car i have had this was how it worked, just not with the freelander 2 hse.

Must be different to my GS then.

All the cars I have had the radio goes off when ignition is switched off, but you can then switch radio back on at the unit itself with the on/off buttion

What Deano64 says.

Just press the radio on button after you have stopped the engine and the radio comes back on for 10 mins or so. If yours doesn't do this maybe there is a problem? Updated- Waiting for a Scotland v England 6 Nations home win. 24th Feb 2018

As has been said - on my car,64 plate SE, just press the button on the radio to turn the radio on when ignition is off. MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

Yes, i know it does that, but thats not what i need it to do, i just need the radio to stay on when i turn the engine off when sitting in traffic, no pressing any buttons , just not go off at all untill i switch it off.

Don't think you can achieve what you want so you will have to go through the arduous task of pressing the on/off button when you turn off the ignition whilst in traffic.  MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

Sorry can't help , if pushing the button is too difficult. I've never had a car where the radio stays on when you turn the igniton off. Maybe I've not had enough cars

my last 2 cars have done this, volvo xc 70 and volvo xc 60, sitting in traffic to and from work, its just so simple to hit the stop button and switch the engine off but not the radio. Lazy i know ,but its just what i had got used to.

Mine is the same, 63 plate GS. When I turn the engine off I just hit the radio button! 1998 300TDi Auto Disco, never to be forgotten.
