Something is wrong here

It's a 2008 Grand Prix......SOMETIMES I get out of my car my radio will stop playing music. When I get out of the drivers seat its like there is a switch in the seat that says "hey this guy got out of the vehicle so lets stop playing the music" The radio doesn't turn off it just stops playing music. I do have that SXRC remote hooked to my Kicker SX900.4 amp and if I change between one of the 4 memory presets on that then it will play again. I ran my constant power straight to the Batt with an inline fuse. I grounded the radio to metal behind the radio. The only thing I can think of is my ignition wire which runs to the fuse box. I tried several different places in the fuse box and it still does it. I am about ready to run the ignition wire off of the constant with a switch JUST to see if that works. I have no wires running under the drivers side seat that can be pinched....Does anyone know if there is a switch for something like the airbag that might be screwing with the voltage going to the radio via where I have my ignition wire. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif If you need more info then ask..The brain to my radio is under the passenger seat which I realized there was a heater vent blowing on it when heater is on. Not sure that would cause this symptom though.

2008 Grand Prix + Kenwood KVT815DVD, Kicker SX1250.1 not hooked up yet. Kicker SX 900.4, Kicker SXRC Controller. Kicker RS65.2 Components in the front. Infinity Reference 9623i 6X9's in the rear...More on its way shortly

Is this a factory radio or aftermarket??

In certain cars the radio will stay on until you get out of the car. I dont know if yours is one of them.

Maybe you guys read my post wrong or didnt read the whole thing. Yes my cars radio will stay on with the key off until I open the door. The radio is a kenwood KVT 815 DVD........I'm not using any original power or ground wires from the factory radio..... Today I put the ignition wire to constant and when I get out of the seat with the car still still running it will shut the music off (mute the sound not shut the radio itself off) so it has nothing to do with where the ignition power wire is......Also I found out that either my amp or the radios brain is bad.....I took the RCA's off the rear channel but the rear speakers kept playing with only the front channel RCA's hooked up SX900.4--$ channel amp).....But that still shouldn't have an effect of shutting off the music (muting) when I get out of the driver seat unless somehow somewhere there is a switch in my **** seat that either overloads the brain or amp or both. I used the sickbay on my SXRC

I have'nt been to Dukes in years since they stopped selling KICKER. I should ask them. How are they at tinting windows? I ride by there all the time and see they do that now
