Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Car stereo

This may be due to incorrect settings of the radio, which can consume the battery even when the car is turned off. The solution is to select the direct shutdown mode: turn on the radio, click on "menu" and scroll to find "my vehicle", then look for the "factory settings" option and enter the password, which in many radios of this type is "8888" and confirm. In the menu that opens, look for the "engineering test debugging" option, and clicking on it will ask for a password which is "26959910" and will take us to the radio setting mode where we must set "direct shutdown mode", which will completely turn off the radio.
