Through another klutzy move I figured out that when shutting off the car you can push the Start/Stop button twice.
The first push turns off the engine ... which I obviously have been doing all along.
The second push shuts down the radio. I've been clicking the key fob out to do this before. 
I guess I should read the Owners' Manual afterall. But, I haven't been able to find out who else owns my car so I can't get us all together for a reading night.

Also if you just hold the button down for 1-3 seconds it will also turn it all off as well.....

This is great...I was only hitting it once then wondering why the radio would stay on, then if I hit it again the car would try to start or sometimes it would shut all off. I finally started noticing the note saying press to turn off completely. Hitting the button twice is much faster!
