Default Something I've never had happen?

So I went outside to get into my Jeep, hit my unlock button before I came around the corner to the driveway. Get around the corner and my radio is on? I've never had this happen when I unlocked my Jeep... Any ideas?

I have a 2010 dodge 3500 diesel that had the break lights on a few times all night. I was like damn better park this electrical hazard away from my wifes jeep in case of fire LOL. Its a company pickup so aint my prob unless it burns down my baby. Hope it was just a one time flaw good luck.

Had a possessed radio in a Ford. Turned on by itself, increased volume by itself. Eventually died.

I literally had the thought of do I really want to get into this Jeep right now? It kind of freaked me out.

I'm hoping it was some random fluke of hitting a combo of buttons or something on my key

Mine does some funny stuff sometimes too. Some days when I stop and open drivers door, all doors unlock. Other days nothing. Same thing with door locks when I start driving, some days they lock when I hit about 10mph, then next day they don't As long as it starts I'm happy

In one year of ownership, I've had the same radio thing happen once. Also had engine turn off while driving several times. Jeeps have always been electrical retards.
