Same happens on mine, but never had a flat battery either. Wonder what would happen if the radio was left on all night  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

It automatically switches off after 30 minutes.

But why then the warning after 15 mins Wonder what would happen if you sat in the car all night and turned the radio on every 30 mins after it had automaticaly turned itself off  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

probably they would, but I meant it hypothetically, not literally

ps - I could have said, in a dark country lane with some curvaceous company, but then there would be other knobs to fiddle with  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

or even a blat flattery - However I still have a memory from the old days

Seriously though, I wonder if the Low Battery radio warning is for real, or just a reminder that the electronics are active and may cause a flat after x-hours  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
