Your rt4 entering economy mode before you start the engine could suggest that your battery is running low in charge, it is protecting itself by shutting down any unneccesary perphirals to save the battery live, stick a multimeter across your battery, ive always been told a healthy battery should measure between 12.5-13.7v any lower and i would consider charging it, and if the problem persists i.e battery keeps losing charge consider replacing and have the charging circuits checked however bad alternators etc should trigger warning lamps.

did you manage to find any problem with the battery? would be interesting to see if this is causing the problem, for future reference..

nope i didnt measure voltage... but i have some lights on battery... green yelow and red! whole day today is only green light on so i guess that means that battery have good voltage... I also didnt notice entering in economy mode today... and yestrdat, i was starting friends car with cables.... so maybe it caused problem :/ i will see what will hapend in next few days...
