Business Radio Trouble

On my mom Z4, the radio turns itself on while the car stays in the parking. car is closed, roof down, no keys no contact. it happens sometimes. Anyone experienced the same?

Sounds like a short somewhere. The radio should not be able to turn on even with contact if the keys have been removed from the transmission and a door has been opened.

I have not personally heard of this happening before. What year/model Z4 does you mom have?

The radio will work for about 20 minutes after the car is shut off if someone hits the button, same as the windows and seats. Is it possible someone is fiddling with the controls? Has anyone checked to see if it's still going after 20 minutes?
