Yes! The master radio button, which occasionally doubles as the volume control knob, can be used to switch off the radio in your BMW 5 Series. This won’t completely turn off your radio; it will merely mute it. Although the station is still visible, no sound will be heard.
Choose another audio source, such as a CD or your phone, if you’d prefer to totally switch off your radio. This won’t disable your audio system, but it will disable the radio so you can connect to an other sound source.

Although I attempted to read the manual, it is unclear. Satellite radio, GPS, or a HK radio are not features in my car.
Step 1 is to turn up the volume. The radio is muted as a result. The radio appears to be off when the car is switched off.
Push the mode button in step two. The absence of a CD is indicated by a message. The radio appears to be, though.
Step three is to do nothing. After the car is switched off, I believe the radio turns off after perhaps 10 minutes. I’d rather not use this approach.
Park the vehicle. Release the brake pedal, then briefly depress the start/stop button. All but the radio and a few gadgets are turned off. The radio turns off when you press it once more. Easy.
By pressing the Voice Command Button and saying “Display Off,” you can switch off the display but not the iDrive System.
As previously mentioned, all you have to do to “switch off” the radio is hit the volume button on the device. Yes, this merely “mutes” it, but since the radio and all other audio systems are managed by the iDrive, the radio cannot actually be turned off until the CD, AUX, or other component is selected.
The issue is not with my speeding. The Slow Folks in front of me are the ones who cause accidents!
Anyone who is familiar with navigation who knows how to “remove destination”? For instance, if I were traveling home from out of state but already knew where I was going, I would prefer not to hear the obnoxious navi any longer. Thanks
Put an end to the direction. To the left of the map, there should be an icon with an arrow pointing to a dot. In the event that you choose that, the guidance will be invalid.

Alternatively, you can choose the speaker icon in the button stack that runs down the left side of the map to just silence the voice instructions while keeping the assistance active.
Getting Rid of Navigation:
It’s absurd that you have to select Navigate to the same location before you get the option to Cancel.
You don’t have to do that, I suppose. Push the iDrive knob to the left to choose the button column in the map display, turn it to the top icon bearing a flag, click it, and select “Stop guidance” to stop the navigation. Another useful tip obtained from reading the manual, you guessed it!
How can the radio be turned off in a BMW x1?
It is necessary to PRESS and HOLD the media on/off (volume dial) in order to switch it off without opening the door. That is the new standard of conduct. It is necessary to PRESS and HOLD the media on/off (volume dial) in order to switch it off without opening the door.
On a 2011 BMW, how do you reset the radio?
I own a 2007 335 with navigation. I occasionally get auditory silence after I turn on my car. Radio, iPod, Bluetooth, and backup sensor warning are examples of this. No sounds at all. The sound will then turn off and stay that way until the next morning. My dealer informed me that the reason the car works the next day is because it resets itself after around 4 hours. Is there a way for me to make it reset faster?
My 1 series would occasionally do that. Until the seatbelt alert lit up, I would let my seatbelt hang loose. I then had sound after that. Of course in a parking lot!
Some radios can be reset by simultaneously holding power and eject for 20 to 30 seconds.
How can I turn my BMW m5 off?
This may seem strange, but the 2018 M5 is different from the other five M cars I’ve owned. When approaching a park, press the stop/start button once, and the engine shuts off. Press it twice, and nothing happens, and the stereo doesn’t go silent like it did with every other BMW I’ve owned. How do you completely lock the car without really getting out and doing so?
The radio will shut down if you hold down the power button for at least five seconds.
At first, I thought this was a joke, but when I tried it, it actually worked for a short period of time—perhaps 1-2 seconds. It’s strange that the car no longer totally shuts off when you press the primary stop/start button.
Pushing the start/stop button twice in an F10 550i, which I was replacing, turns the car off. With the G30/F90 and all other new BMW vehicles, you only need to press the start/stop button once to shut off the engine; further presses have no effect, or the engine will start if your foot is still on the brakes. The simplest method, in my experience, is to simply open the door, and everything turns off.
This confused me as well as I was coming from a F80. Just before I open my door, I make sure to press the start/stop button. The moment I open the door, it immediately shuts down.
the button on the keyless entry button gadget that the newest, fanciest automobiles have to lock the car.
The engine shuts off when I press the Start/Stop button, but the radio stays playing until I open the door. Everything else stops when the door is opened. For it to work in my car, I had to bimmercode it; but, with yours, it might just be a setting.
I’ve been driving myself nuts because I park in a garage in New York City and leave the keys in the vehicle. Opening the driver’s door occasionally worked. Opening the front door on the passenger side occasionally worked. On occasion, I switched the car off and resumed it. Thank you for introducing me to the radio button; it works!
Funny how so many of us didn’t know how to completely lock the car without getting out. It’s just great to get out of the car without the sound playing.
I also thought this was fascinating. Now that I have a loud sound system, when I arrive at work and open the door, it immediately starts to blare. As a result, I must now start/stop, turn down the volume, and then open the door. However, the volume knob trick is a great one that I was unaware of.
How can I reset the DAB radio in my BMW?
New stations occasionally get on the air, digital radio lineups occasionally alter, and the broadcast network occasionally needs important engineering work. Retuning will keep your radio current and enable it to continue receiving your favorite stations.
