Turn off engine....won't turn off radio/media

Gp8818 · 10-26-2023, 01:31 PM

Just picked up my 2024 M440i GC (idrive 8) and the one thing that is annoying me about the car is that when I turn off the car, the radio or podcast keeps playing.

How do I change the setting to have the radio or media player turn off when the engine turns off?

No BMW since 2002 turns the radio off with the engine; you can set/code the radio to turn off when door is opened.

I just hold the volume button down for 3 seconds if I want it to turn off when not getting out the car.
