I've read other posts from members with similar problems regarding CD players staying on, but how widespead is this radio issue and how long has this problem existed?
It's wierd, I was affraid to leave the car with the radio playing so I turned the car off and on several times until I got the bright idea how just maybe my bluetooth phone had somthing to do with this so I shot the phone off and presto radio was off.
Is there a fix for this, my cars only one month old?

I had this problem yesterday. The iDrive stayed on even after the key was removed. I did the start/stop button press thing and still nothing. The iDrive was behaving as though the key was still in. Rebooted the iDrive with the key out and that did the trick.

I dont have CA but the way my car has always worked (and thats how its supposed to) is when I switch the car off the radio is still playing but as soon as I get the key fob out it shuts down, only on this occassion it didn't no matter what I tried.

The same thing happens to me and my car does not have a start/stop button!
Well it only happened 4 or 5 times.
But it is annoying!
It stays on for a couple of minutes! And even if i press the button of the radio to turn it off, well it does not do anything!
any clues on this?
