OK so I'm listening to my new Eminem CD and i noticed that i needed to get gas, so i pull in to the nearest gas station and i tell them to fill it up and wutever. i turn off the car but not all the way, i left my radio on. i'm listening to the cd and a couple of minutes the interior lights flashes/pulsates with the beat of the music. Thats insane!
did you guys know this or am i the guy thats a little slow?

What? to the beat of the music? Are you serious?

BasenjiGuy

since

Tony Orlando

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing....

Ike

The surge from the bass was just causing the lights to dim most likely, you may want to get your battery checked...

VelociRedBeast

.....It Would be cool though..

StewC625

yup, that's battery draw ...

slllygrl10

Lol

Might want to check the alternator as well, a battery should not drain so fast... 5 min while getting a tank of gas...

truemagellen

I have...it is simple...if you put something into the lighter outlet with reversed polarity (ie ground is not hooked to ground) it will lock the radio/interior lights/navigation/outlets everything ON!

it will run till you remove the device from the outlet for 1 second or more...seriously I turned off the car, removed the keys, closed and locked the door everything was still running!!!!!!

the way I found out is a crappy dvd player I hooked up to the av box for video into the nav...and I couldn't turn anything off...it freaked me out for a while then I remembered something about grounds and complex electrical systems and I pulled out the plug

truemagellen

oh and how loud did you have it? any extra amps installed?

wokuku

Did u know that you can open/close the windows after you turned off the car. The switches continue to functions until you open the door~

truemagellen

yup but it will only work for a minute or too...too bad the stereo doesn't keep playing too until the door opens like some dodge and ford suv/vans

xdrian

I've tried it but it hasnt happened to me. And i just found out before that i can open my window when I turn of my car and take the key out :D

galleychief

Perhaps the car has an inherent dislike of Eminem and was discharging the battery on its own to stop the noise. . . :D

Gomez

The door wasn't fully closed and the bass was rocking the door on the interior light switch on the forward edge of the rear door. Battery is okay....

buzzardsluck

You beat me too it galleychief lol

Like Whoa

nah uh, i played the music low and loud. its happened like 4 diffrent occasions. i went to get my rotor resurfaced last week and said my batterys are fine. and nothing installed, everything stock

Gomez

Door switch needs adjustment....lean against them when the door is closed and the lights will come on.

Like Whoa

so is this normal? is my 8 the only 8 with pulsating lights that go with the music?

galleychief

Yes. Consider your 8 unique.
But really, I think GOMEZ was closer to the actual cause. Check your door switch, if that is not it take it to the dealer and demonstrate it to them if you can.

Like Whoa

ok i know how to do it now.
first i turn the key all they way without starting it then i put my windows down and then i turn back but not all the way, just enough so that the radio is still on. and then i put up or down the window and then a few seconds later all the lights in the car come on and starts doing that beat

Tayninh

I am going with Gomez here. Sounds like the door is not fully closed and the beats makes the lights flash. If that's not it, then you have an interesting car.
