How to shut off the radio...
Own a 2020 Z4 M40i and when I turn the car off, the radio continues to play unless I lock the car. Is there another option to have the radio turn off without locking the car, or turning off the radio manually? Something in settings that I've missed?
Thanks. |

If you press and hold the volume button for about 6 seconds it shuts off the radio,

Only menu settings are to shut the car down when opening the door after it was running. If you just open the door and close it without locking the radio will stay on for a while, around a 1/2 hour or so. Even with the shutdown when opening door enabled if you change some settings before opening the door the radio will stay on unless you lock it or hold down the button to shut it off. At least thats how it works for me |

This works every time and is the way it was intended to work by BMW. Why are people complicating it so much?

I think its kind of silly that if you leave it unlocked anyone can open the door and play with vehicle settings and radio with a fob nowhere near the car but I couldnt find any way to disable it. Last edited by kj57; 03-31-2020 at 11:51 PM.. |

Works fine unless you play with the radio or settings before you open the door, if you do you will have to shut off manually. |
