I wonder if anyone here has seen the Seinfeld episode where Kramer takes a test drive with the car salesman to see how much beyond 'empty' they can go. Somehow this reminds me of that episode.... Was...

Radio always turns on

So what am I doing wrong? Every time the car starts the radio turns on, even if I've turned it off previously (muted). This must be a feature I can disable, correct? 2014 Q5 TDI.

Here is the challenge though.... I've also read that the odometers in most cars aren't always precise either. Some have...
