Original or aftermarket radio?
Car stuck in ACC?
So my 2006 Sienna did a new trick for me today. I was listening to the radio and went to get out of the car took my key out of the ignition opened my door and realized the radio was still playing. It seemed like the key was in ACC position but wasn't even in the ignition.
Has this happened to anyone else? Any tips what I should do?

Never happened in my Sienna but, between me and my friends, I've experienced probably a dozen cars which had the ignition lock break/malfunction, allowing you to remove the key when the ignition was in the ON or ACC position and a few cases where you could just start the car without a key. The fix was always replacing the ignition but I don't know anyone who actually fixed the issue because the car wasn't worth the hassle of a new ignition, keyed to the correct key. That said, as @paul r is hinting, it's possible that someone wired it to continuous power.So my 2006 Sienna did a new trick for me today.

This is the original radio.Original or aftermarket radio?
Are the cigarette lighter sockets live or only the radio? Do the window switches work? Does the steering wheel lock when you take out the key?

Happened to me before in my old totaled second gen. I was able to do the same thing and even pull it out when the engine was running.So my 2006 Sienna did a new trick for me today.

My problem was a worn out key where it would no longer hold it in the ignition, tried a second key and that solved the problem. Keys wear down as well, make sure if it's the key or not before you go down the path of replacing the ignition for no reason.
I had a similar issue. Turn off my van and the radio kept playing. I realized that I had a battery jump starter plugged in and charging in the rear power jack of my '05 XLE and it was supplying power to the radio circuit.
