    Insert what she’s saying...?

    “POS....Radio....I’ll fix you....”


    Yes I know it’s a microwave, but imagination is key.

    LMAO. It's real. I have a 2021 and about four times have been sitting in a truck stop with the key and radio off and all of a sudden rap music starts blaring through my speakers loud enough to blow them. Finally figured out last time if I start the truck it stops. It usually only lasts for less than a minute and only after you just shut the truck down, but the shear volume will blow the roof off. I'm not sure it's Bluetooth in the radio. I think it is caused by Bluetooth compatibility to the speakers. You can cut the power button on the radio off and it still won't stop. It's a little traumatizing. First time it happened I was out of my truck in my drawers scrambling for tools to disconnect my battery.

    Ever wonder why someone else’s key opens your door? Same issue is with the radio. Some people connect with Bluetooth to their radio and if their radio is off it will connect with yours.


    That’s my guess.

    Lol @ these comments.

    I found the problem.

    This device made by this company called Purkeys. Its a bluetooth module that (when hooked to your phone) can read text messages and play music. All while the vehicle is turned off and the radio is off. I literally unplugged the radio and THE MUSIC WAS STILL PLAYING!

    I have no idea who installed this in my truck. It was located in the dash. I removed the panel on the passenger side and looked around in there and noticed it with its blinking lights flashing. I unplugged it and no issues after that.

    The entire time it was in my truck, neither one of my phones picked up on it. I had to go into my bluetooth setting and connect it, but I didn't know what the hell it was so I ignored it.

    I have no use for it, so its gonna stay unplugged.

    The old AM transistor radios would sometimes play small bits of sound, while they were off. I’ve been on a cell phone call, a few times, and suddenly be on a line with someone else. Strange stuff.

    That’s called a party line or something??

    Had friends who had something like that where the entire neighborhood shred a phone line

    I’m talking about modern day cell phone calls. Party lines were a shared land line, at a discount price. My wife tells of a time they had one. Her Moms trying to call the fire department, to report a neighbors house on fire. The Lady on the line accused her of Lying. Basically 2 households, total strangers shared a line. Either could eavesdrop if desired. Lol. Phone bills were typically $10-$12 a month back then. Local calls only. Long distance was a big deal, that cost extra. A whole lot extra. A couple short long distance Calls would double or triple the monthly bill easily.
