We are having problems with our Jenson stereo system coming on by itself in our driveway. I do use the Bluetooth for my Spotify pairing from my phone when we are camping but the radio seems to be coming on by itself. Has anyone had this problem?

Hmmm. Are the batteries in the remote dying? Do you have mischievous children? ------------- John '16 R-Pod 180 |

| Unless the on/off button is red it is not off. Also switch the function to something other than BT (bluetooth) then off to see if that helps (might be a glitch). I do know it does stay on standby even when off which annoys me because it was draws current and still I do a lot of dry camping I want to keep stuff like that to a minimum so I installed a toggle switch in the power feed to really turn it off. |

Alarm is off. We did not get any manuals with our 183g but I have found one online for the Jensen. I think it has to be the bluetooth also. As soon as I go in there with my phone it connects to Spotify and starts playing even though Spotify app is not up on my phone. I will check for the red button for off. Toggle switch sounds good. ------------- Frank & Vicki |

Sounds like you have autoplay turned on in your Spotify app. I had the same issue with my car bt. This explains how to shut autoplay off: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Option-to-disable-autoplay-on-bluetooth-connect/td-p/4748769 ------------- 1994 Chinook Concourse 1995 RV6A Experimental Aircraft 2015 Rpod 179 - sold |

I also installed a simple on/off toggle switch. I pulled the unit out of the wall and found the red 12V power wire and cut it, added a pigtail to each end and connected the toggle. Now, I can completely turn the power off and save the battery.

So I disabled the auto connection on my phone an hour ago. I just went into the R-Pod and the news was on. When I turn it off there is no red light. Mine is a 2016 unit. I don't get it. Thanks for the idea of the toggle switch. ------------- Frank & Vicki |

A main battery disconnect switch solves all nuisance power vampires. Propane detector, radios, voltmeters, 12v to USB adapters, etc.
