NOOB question about the radio

DrGP · 04-24-2007, 09:28 PM

Please don't tell me to read the owners' manual. Just got the car last night and just haven't had time to read it . BUT I'm starting to read it THOROUGHLY tonight.

The question I have is that when I turn of the car in the garage and don't lock the door, the radio stays on. Is there someway to get it to turn off without locking the car or manually turning it off. I have Comfort access but no i drive or nav. TIA!

Push start-stop button again.

Will it go off on its own after a given time though?

It should go off... I always lock my doors so...

The radio will stay on until:

You turn it off by pushing the radio on/off button
You press the start/stop button a second time after shutting off engine
You open your door

It will turn off in 10-15 mins even if you do nothing

It will also go off if you hold the Start/Stop button in a second or two longer.

I don't believe opening the door turns off the radio. Mine keeps playing.

I was just going to reply with that. Doesn't work for me.

I hope the 10-15 minute thing is true. That's comforting in the event I'm really sleeping and not paying attention if the volume is all the way down or something.
