Is it keeping your channel presets memorized? Sounds like the HK is losing its keep-alive power when you kill the ignition. What happens if you leave the ignition on and turn the radio off, then back on again?

Have you tried removing fuse and rebooting radio?

No have not tried that. And it is maintaining presets and time.

Mine does this except for it comes on in WB. Started happening to me just after I flashed to the latest HK firmware (8.25).

This has been an ongoing thing with the HK radios for years. My '07 has done it since new- sometimes it comes on WB, sometimes AM, and sometimes it'll come on whatever I was listening to before I shut it off. One of the software updates last year was supposed to fix it, but mine kept doing it even after the upgrade. I've learned to live with it because in the grand scheme of things, it's a minor irritant.

My '07 changes only if I am listening to a CD. If I am listening to AM,FM or XM it is fine. But turn on a CD and no telling what you are getting when you turn it back on.
