Thanks JR. My car didn't come with a radio/ hi fi user manual. Could you give me more info on the mute buttons or point me in the direction on where I might get hold of a manual..
Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I clearly have a loose connection somewhere (although I haven't found it yet) because when I slam the driver's door the radio comes on. If I then turn off the radio it won't come back on again until I slam the door!
