Car crash music?

Question

when a car crashes, why does the radio turn off? does it ever stay on?

Answer 1

Some new cars will automatically disconnect power to the vehicle, to reduce the safety hazard it could pose to rescue crews. In vehicles with OnStar, I would expect the stereo to turn off so that emergency services can contact you through the OnStar system.

On other cars, it may be because the engine has shut off, and the battery has been damaged.

Answer 2

On the newer vehicles if the engine is still running the radio will stay on but if the engine stops all of the power will shut off because of safety reasons that are built in.....
