radio question
i just have a quick question that ive been meaning to ask, did the later model years of our cars have a radio/stereo system that stayed on even after the car has been turned off? i know other newer gm vehicles did, but i was just wondering if that was present on the alero in the later models. thanks.

Mine is a 2002 and did that. After turning the car off and removing the key from the ignition, the stock radio would stay on until I opened the door, or until about 10-15 minutes passed. I honestly miss that feature with my aftermarket radio because it shuts off when the key turns to "OFF" position.

Most GM vehicles have had the 10 minute interior delay since the 90's
