Radio coming on when opening boot.
I've just replaced my old G20 for a G20 LCI 2023. I notice that the radio comes on every time I open the passenger door or open the boot lid to get something out of the car.
As I don't intend to get in the car and drive off, I don't want the radio blaring music out every time I go to the car to get something. This issue never occurred with my previous G20. Is anyone aware of how I can prevent this from happening? Last edited by andy5468; 08-23-2023 at 04:37 PM.. |

This was happening to me. I agree it’s very frustrating. You can go into your settings and set where it says turn off at door opening. The key is to open the trunk before you open your door. Then the radio will turn off.
But honestly, this is too much work for me so now I just turn off the radio Any time I turn off the car, then turn it back on when I start. Not sure why Bmw can’t be normal and just turn off your radio when you turn off your car. |

I only want the radio to come on when I open the drivers door, ready to get in the car and drive away. |

So after that everytime I reverse, in addition radio would come on. I was able to resolve this by undoing this quick shortcut button in reverse mode engaged.

Opening the passenger door or trunk brings the radio on along with all the dash displays! Am I missing something here? |

So the thing for me was not simply deleting but engaging reverse mode and whilst deleting radio preset. Did you for example open a Passanger door and then deleted the preset ?

It's not just the radio that comes on. All the dash and displays come on as if I am getting in the car to drive away. It also does this whenever I open the trunk/boot too. I would only expect this when I open the drivers door. |

This is how my 2021 M440i with iDrive 7 behaves in day to day driving with the setting "Turn off when drivers door is opened: 1) I'm driving the car with music on. 2) Turning off the car and music turns off when I open the door (if no passenger then it continuous). If I manually start it again the radio and dash turns off when the car is locked. 3) Next day starting the car, the music starts playing after starting the engine. If the music was turned off in the previous drive, it doesn't automatically turn on. So iDrive 7 works nicely. Have you reported the iDrive 8 misbehavior to BMW? |

I am trying to establish if this is the norm for other members with the same car with I drive 8. If this behaviour is not normal or can't be switched off in the menu, Ill take the car back to the dealer. |

So what I think is happening is that the BMW engineers did not specify that the trunk is not a “door” but just labeled it as in action that is opening some thing on the car. When something like a door or trunk is opened the radio turns on. So when you set the setting in I8 to turn off system at door opening, It will turn off once you open the drivers door . But then, when you open the trunk after that, it turns the radio back on the only other solution I could think of would be to open any other doors or the trunk, then open the driver door last.

And since I keep forgetting to open all the other doors before I open the driver door. The solution for me is just to turn the radio off pushing by pushing the volume button every time I turn the car off.

I should add, these issues only occur when opening trunk, passenger door and driver door but not the rear doors. Madness! |
