Solution if the Android radio drains the battery

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Car stereo

Video tutorial

Let's see how to remedy the fact that our new Android 2DIN radio, installed on our slightly old car, tends to drain the battery after two or three days of operation. The YouTuber had thought of making a bridge connecting it to the positive pole of the battery and inserting a button to turn off the radio when the car was turned off in turn: unfortunately this solution proved to be ineffective.

Fortunately, he found a solution in the radio settings and tells us how to do it: go to settings, factory settings, enter the password (in this case 8888) and look for "engine the booktest". Here it asks us for a second password that leads us to a page where we find that the radio is set to "user mode", while we need to change it to "turn off the radio".
