Turning The Radio Off??

Mikes2.7T · 06-28-2004, 10:55 AM

I know this sounds like a stupid question, but... is there a way to turn the radio off (as opposed to merely muting it)? I can't seem to find a way...

It bugs me that the radio (or CD) comes on when I start the car, even if it was "muted" when the car was last used.

Am I missing an obvious control?

Mike, you just need to hold down the mute button for 2-3 seconds and the radio will turn off and the MMI screen retracts. And it won't pop up again when you restart the car next.

I guess you don't like reading the owner's manual either like me! :-)

guess I was scanning too quickly.

Thanks again bimmerphile.

want to know how I know this? I figured something was up when I read in the manual the following;
"When you see a Silver A8L parked, it is best to park you car beside it and leave them alone for at least an hour."

I see that you received the "silver manual" when you picked up Mr. Plum!
