Radio staying on after getting out.

I have noticed a few times that the radio has stayed on after I pressed the engine off button and opened the door. Is this normal? In my previous cars once you opened the door the radio/cd etc all went off.

In my F10 the radio only turns off after you lock the doors. If you don't lock the doors it turns off after 10 minutes.

Hi Chucky, yes it's normal. IIRC it could be coded differently on the F10, hopefully G30 will be the same ?

Glad they kept that feature. It is normal on my 535 and you will like it.

Chucky, if you want the radio to turn off when you kill the engine, just hit the start/stop button a 2nd time (with foot off the brake of course).

Have you tried this on the g30? When I tested the g30 I think I had to open the door for the radio to shot off.

Yeah but sometimes it does go off when you open the door! There doesn't seem to be a definite pattern. Weird!

You must have LZ4 - Adaptive Jam Control.
There are certain songs for which it is literally a crime to cut off before the proper conclusion. Gotta love technology.

There is a bit of a mystery here though. Remnib - I did try it on a G30 but now I can't remember what happened.... my comment to Chucky was just based on my F10.

Anyone else ? Is there a setting in idrive now ?

When I tried the g30, I pushed the stop button several times, but the radio was on until I opened the door.

A short time ago I came back home from the shops with my daughter. The music was on. I turned off the engine and opened my door. The music stayed on. So I turned it off at the on/off/volume button and it went off. Then I got out. Next, my daughter got out and guess what? The music came back on! There really doesn't seem to be any logic to this.

It's possible that I'm using a different key from the guy who drove the car up to me. I'll try to re-assign the key I'm using.
