Roger: I believe that both you and Pzycho are describing bug number 1785 in the internal bug list.

Pzycho: The work-around is (I think) to go into emplode and set the timeout to something very short, for instance, 5 seconds or so. This will make the player fully reboot when you start the car a second time (instead of just trying to come out of standby) and will work around the bug unless you deliberately wake the player with the ignition off.
