How to turn audio off?
Experts,
2017 U.S. M2 with HK stereo (I don't know what iDrive version I have). Total noobie question here...When I'm done driving, and push the 'off' button to turn off the engine, the audio keeps playing. This is the case in my other cars. However in my other cars, once you open a door (driver door), the audio turns off. On my M2, when I open the driver door, the audio keeps playing, and even after I shut the door. Fine I though; it must be on some sot of timer delay. So I went in the house. Came back over a minute later and audio was still playing! Only way I could figure out how to turn it off is to lock the car, which I'd rather not do in the garage. It this normal behavior? Can it be changed via iDrive setting? If so, how? Thanks, Don |

Take your foot off the clutch and press the stop button.
Or code it to turn off when the door opens. This what I did. |

Thank you both!
Thanks. Seems odd and non-intuitive. Is this the way it is with other modern BMWs (M2 is first BMW).
I'll look into coding, but it's not something I've ever had to do to a car. |

Yes pretty much all of them. If you're a first timer to coding, check the BimmerCode app page, very nice and easy to use app - good for beginners as it keeps the dangerous stuff unavailable to modify.

I guess I need to order the Vgate iCar 2 Wi-Fi OBD adapter now to get started. |

Double-clicking the start/stop button quickly becomes second nature. |

Get in the habit of locking the car in your garage. It's safer (it's ridiculously easy to break into a garage), and it also helps prolong battery life in the car - locking tells the car to shut off everything ASAP, while leaving it unlocked will allow various bits to keep drawing power for a while. The car assumes if you're not locking it that you might be getting back in / starting it again right away, so it leaves a bunch of systems active & drawing power for some indeterminate period of time.
