Honda knows their stereo system has a recurring problem. The stereo will draw power when the car is shut off, but since it is not being by more pilots than is "Acceptable" and most people won't take it to the next level they try to ignore it. I have had the stereo replaced under extended warranty once in 2018 and now it is happening again in 2021.
Honda won't replace because it is out of warranty. What the dealer shrugs off as a parasitic power drain will leave you stranded in the middle of nowhere because it will drain your battery completely while it is turned off. Not to worry. Honda will replace it with a new one every 3 years for only $800.00 plus labor for you. But first you have to tow your car into their place because your car won't start!
