Audio 10 in S class switches itself on - why?

[merc300e]

Hello -I have a '99 C320 with an Audio 10 radio cassette built-in. Seems to work ok but after I have locked up the car it often switches itself on - can not see why. Neighbours are getting fed up with music in the night - I have to remember to turn down the volume before I leave the car. Any ideas please? Incidently this car only has a radio/cassette ie. no CD at all. Bit surprised at this as the cheapest Fiesta seams to come with a CD these days. Has it been removed? Thanks.

You have a funny fault with your Audio 10 and can only be within the unit itself, the car is made for a CD changer,but that was extra, these things are always for sale on Ebay, why not get the audio 20 + CD changer.

I had a couple of occasions where I had to reset my audio 10. Once it had a garbled display and wouldn't switch on and the other time it was constantly trying to eject a tape it didn't have. On both occasions I pulled the fuse for 30 secs and all was well again. It does seem to suffer from software glitches so it may be worth a try.
