I do not have sat nav only obc
when i turn the radio off by pressing the button beside the cd all it does is to mute the sound the bottom line of the idrive is still showing the radio station and the mute symbol.
Why do i ask this?
because behind the radio station name on the idrive is the date which i see for a few seconds on switch on in the morning it would be nice to turn off the radio and have the date displayed instead on a radio station which i am not using
Any ideas gereatly appreciated thanks

Why is this amazing? This isn't 1980, these days, most electronic components are powered up when the car is.
From the user's standpoint, a muted radio is off...

Audio system is always on.
Power button only mutes and pauses CD music.
When you turn on the car, the audio system always turns on and un-mutes. There is no way to prevent this. If you want the stereo off, you have to start the car and press the power button every time..... regardless if the stereo was on or off when you left the car.

[/quote]Hormazd - With my CCC car, Version 15 the audio persistently turns back on now. With prior S/W versions, it was an intermittent problem. Unless my car has an incorrect setting somewhere.
I did read the posts at http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=...&st=15&p=77529& though.
kscarroll does not have a CCC car.
One thing is for sure, though, the intermittent character is persistent now with V15 on the CCC cars.

[/quote]Well thats a royal pain. I was hoping that V15 fixed it for me. I, as you, do still think this is an annoying bug. I drive on my own listening to the radio. Turn it off an leave the car. Return to the car with a business colleague and 20 seconds after starting the engine while backing out, the radio blasts "I can't get no satisfaction". Damn right.
