Question Ghost in the Machine

Weird one here.

I went into the garage this morning to head to work... I walked over to the Jeep to toss my gym bag into the back seat (windows all down, doors on and shut) and suddenly the radio turned on, along with my XM (plugged into the switched ACC power).
It was creepy.

I had the key in my hand.

Once I had the radio volume go all the way up without touching it. Funny thing is I was about to raise the volume. Mind Reader Jeeps?

I think that is pretty cool. If you figure it out, let me know. I always wanted one of those expensive vehicles that do things for you.

Sounds like your JK was over being in the garage and ready to hit the road. Maybe you should take your JK out every few hours like people do with their dogs


Jeeps dont like crates either (garage)

Thing is... I really liked the song that came on. It was the very beginning of the song.
It was like the Jeep was standing there wagging its tail with leash-in-mouth.

My dad had a CJ7 when I was a kid and it used to groan when I would walk into the garage. I think it was just settling on the springs or something when he got home but to a little kid in the garage alone, it was freaky

I had something similar happen to me. Got home, parked Jeep, went inside. Came back out to grab something, locked it back, and the radio was blaring. Bizarre.

Ok, so it seems radio has its own mind. Let's track it down to the music. When my volume went all the way up I was listening to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.

What music has been causing this to you guys?
