Question Command system turning itself back on mysteriously

Hello folks! Looking for some help. When I cut ignition off and get out of my 2007 E350 4matic, I can come back a few minutes later and the stereo has turned itself back on. Radio will be playing. It turns off initially when i cutoff the ignition.. I've sat in car and waited to see it just turn itself back on after about 5-7 minutes. And unit will remain on indefinitely. even if I manually turn unit off, something is still remaining on in system and draining battery. I have pulled radio fuse, Audio Gateway fuse, and unplugged radio command module located on the right side of trunk. Any ideas what is causing this issue?
