Hi there,
Just by luck 1 day I figure out that when I use repeatedly the signal lights activate the USB stick(if it exists) even if the radio unit it is OFF or in CD or in RADIO also EVEN if you play USB it starts from the beginning ...!!!
At first I thought that was the quality of the USB stick (noname chip one) but recently I had a new USB stick (LEXAR 4GB)  and even with this the problem continues...
Just to notice:
I use HID kit on the low beam and when I use the signal lights it lights up both LOW and HIGH beam

Hi There...

To state the obvious something is very wrong with your wiring (did you put the HID in?) I'm no expert but sounds like some sort of surge to me (with maybe the lights and the Radio sharing the same fuse or circuit)

Be interesting to hear other thoughts...

And wiring in the steering wheel/stalks being candidate to check first.

Possibly EMI radiated from the lights wiring being picked up the radio supply wire. I'd test that theory by tuning the AM band radio between stations. Can you do that? If not use another one and see if it "clicks" when you use the "signal". Of course, if using an external radio, hold it near the engine bay while you test. :wink:
