It should turn off when you open the door, its a feature so that you can listen to the radio with the vehicle ignition off. If it is not shutting off at all there may be a problem with the door switches in which case you would have the same problem with the interior lights. Lastly if an aftermarket radio was installed then they may have wired it so that it would work that way.
Odyssey is a model of vehicle. The make of the vehicle would be Honda. So all odyssey cars are made by Honda. They are primarily vans and suv type cars.

According to the dealership Stockton to Malone Honda (on Oct 18, 2007), there is no auxiliary input for the '05 Odyssey radio. I found that very odd considering the display on the nav system shows "AM, FM1, FM2, CD, DVD, AUX" If there is no input, why does the display show "AUX"? If there is one(Maybe because of the CD player or DVD player or something), if it's not obvious, it would be behind the radio. You may need an adapter. Look up the model radio online and see if you can find any more info on it.
Likely your transmission is dying. Google "odyssey transmission" and you will find lots of reports about problems with 2000- 2004 Odyssey transmissions. If you are persistent enough, Honda might help some with the repair.
A 2003 Honda Odyssey would require just a standard headlight bulb as a replacement. These can be brought from many stores, such as Autozone and even Walmart.
According to NRMA Car Review - Honda Odyssey 1995 1200 kg You would probably want to put a transmission cooler in to tow that sort of load though.

To put it simply, yes.
It indicates transmissions problems. Had this happen at 103,000 km on our 2002 Honday Odyssey and had to replace the entire transmission.
You would need to look it up in the owner manual.
