Default door unlock+ radio

However in the time that it took for the four horn blows I had walked right up to the door, and the music started blasting. The door unlocked fine, but I had to jump in to turn of the music?

IM not really sure why the panic alarm would go off and have no idea how the music turned on. I was wondering if anyone else had this issue?
Yes, It happened last week when the wife unlocked the door. The horn sounded once, like it was being locked, and the radio started playing.

same here the horn honked once and the radio started playing. It has happened 2 times now and there were no coincidences between the two times.

Dude mine's weird too. It doesn't do the horn thing but mine when I unlock it, the whipers move up & the gps (it's connected to the cigarete lighter) turns on. I guess it's getting some sort of power when I hit unlock. I had the dealer check it last time I was there but they couldn't "dubplicate" the problem. I checked here and it doesn't seem that it's happening to anybody else. So I decided, wtf let it have it's personality

this just happened to me today for the very first time...when I unlocked the Jeep, the horn honked just once and when I opened the door, the radio was also on! Coincidentally I had just taken my Jeep to the dealership this morning to get the G40 recall done...I wonder if it has anything to do w/ that..

Edit: I did have my AccuPro w/ me so I plugged it in right away to see if any DTC codes were reported. None were found.

Default Radio on with unlock

Okay, this just happened to me this evening. I was walking out the door and I had one hand full, so I reached into my pocket and hit the unlock. I heard a single horn honk and was all confused. When I opened the rear door to put in the stuff I was carrying, I heard the radio playing.

First time this has happened to me that I know of. I've had 2 oil changes, one crank sensor replacement, and one hook-up to disable honk on lock. My 07 Sahara Unlimited is stock, it does have the DVD/Sirius Radio.

The temperature was just a couple of degrees above freezing and it had been raining on and off all day.

Maybe the radio playing is some sort of security thing?
