    Looks like you have made a wiring error.

    Try a search on here, it's apparently a common thing with even the standard head units.

    how have u got it wired in? sounds like u havent used the ACC+ wire, but that doesnt make sence it working fine 4 a month and then not 4 the rest? has ur unit got a timer setting? some units these days do and u'll just need 2 switch this off.

    just thought id say found out the problem after an extensive investigation, it was the battery lead for the amp hitting the remote cable causing it to turn on. just had to clean up the wiring a tad and seams all good so far.
