Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Sitting in my workshop next to the car and occasionally the phone gives me the driving warning.
I am sitting in a chair, obviously not going very fast. The car is off, under its cover. We only own one car and I only own one phone so there is no possibility that it is another car.
Why does my phone think I am driving when the car is off and parked?
iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 15
Your comment made me realize that this started when we put a new battery in the car a few weeks ago. Probably not directly radio related, but almost certainly connected to the new battery installation. I’ll check into it from that perspective. Thanks.
My first visit with these is usually with the key-switch, if one of those is present and has an accessory position. Wear on those (particularly mechanical) switches causes all sorts of “fun”.
If it’s newer and (more) electronic, the ECM is a potential culprit.
After that, it’s deeper into the service manual, with a meter and tracing the wiring.
But by all appearances, your car radio is getting power (somehow), and that’s unexpected.
Check the wiring on the radio, as it would appear it’s getting power and has active Bluetooth.
