About 10 times since August when I took delivery, although my radio was off when I shut off the car, when I restart, it comes on.

This is an intermittent problem, like the "Sound off" thread. Has anybody else had this problem, what was the fix, and do you know the software version.

Do you have the M-ASK computer or CCC computer (non-nav or nav)?

Are you sure its intermittent? Mine has always done this through the last 4 software upgrades. I have the NAV (CCC)
Bill. Any news on that V710 update??? Sent you some more PMs with questions.

Same problems here...I have navigation (CCC).
I believe the problem is fixed with 13.x but with Nav, dealers in N. Cal. are not installing the update without first have the CCC on hand, and they are on national backorder.
BTW, the problem also occurs when I end a phone call with the BMW phone.

I did not have this problem until ver 13.3. Now I have it everytime I crank. About the time the Accept screen comes up, the Audio comes in with a bang regardless of the state I left it the last time I shut down. Since I am not a chronic audio user, I plan to get it stopped as soon as an update is out that will fix this. Hopefully it will not be a lifetime affair.

Same thing here -- I did not have the problem until the software was upgraded to fix a problem with the seat memory. Now everytime I turn on the car, the radio comes on (regardless if it was muted or off the last time I turned off the car).

Please post when a fix is available.

Just browsing the boards when I noticed this thread. Same thing happens for me. I just bought my 530i 4 weeks ago. I haven't checked the SW version yet, but this radio auto-on thing is definitely annoying.

It should be just as loud as it was when you turned the car off.
