My yaris cross excel radio keeps going on to mute. Thought it might be my phone so turned phone off but still happens on the radio.
Any ideas 💡 I'm not technical as it mite be something simple..
Before anyone says no I am not touching the steering wheel switches lol

Radio

Modern vehicles have lots of onboard systems each with their own controllers, not all of these go to sleep when you lock the vehicle. Alarm, immobiliser, wireless entry, remote control and status updates to yourphone etc. all consume power in the background. I have a battery float charger now, and connect it up if the vehicle is not driven enough.
However, since the vehicle (at least on Excel spec) reports status back to a smart phone app, wouldn't it be a good idea to warn the driver when the battery is in need of charging BEFORE it goes flat?

Interestingly, my battery problems started a week or two after an "Over The Air software update". I received a letter saying Toyota would remotely update software in the vehicle and not to panic if refused to start while updating.
So will we be experiencing the same as PC users getting updates? A progress bar graph and "Please wait while we update your vehicle" 

Battery - thoughts

I understand people have 12 volt battery problems with this car.  Is it necessary to drive at least half an hour after switching on  and 
every day  to avoid battery failure?

Am I right in thinking the auto wipers should be left in the off position when parked in icy weather?
It occurs to me that otherwise, with iced up windscreen, the wipers may trigger when pressing start and either:
1; damaging wiper motor
2; tearing the rubber wiper blades off.
Or is the car smart enough to avoid this?
Any thoughts?
