I've had an IC208H in my Prius for the last 6 years without an issue. However, last month, after leaving the car for a full day, the 12V system battery was drained to the point where the car wouldn't start. The 12V battery is an Optima deep discharge battery that recovered fine with a charger.
I've been able to determine that the only drain is the IC208H which is drawing 0.5 A even when powered off.
I don't think it was taking that much current when off as recently as August when we left the car for a week without issue.
It seems like something changed in the radio causing it to draw too much current when off.
Has anyone else seen this and perhaps found a solution?
