Radio stays on after ignition OFF.

Hi Guys,
My wife’s car started acting weird. After you turn off the car and open the door the radio remains ON.
you have to manually turn it OFF using the switch.
The folding mirrors also stopped folding automatically.
The reverse camera no longer come ON. Might be worth noting this happened after the battery was run dry, my theory is because the radio didn’t turn itself off and ran until the battery died.
Anyone had similar symptoms to this ?
Thanks

Sounds like something to do with it.
When trying to set my clock, I got a message my ignition must be in the ON position. Which is strange considering my car was running.
Any idea where this is located? And if I have to get it programmed after replacement?
