3 Answers
To turn off the default radio in the Roewe RX5, simply press the power button located at the lower left corner of the radio screen. The Roewe RX5 radio features three tuning modes: 1. Automatic tuning; 2. Manual tuning; 3. Preset tuning. The Roewe RX5 is a compact SUV under SAIC Motor, with body dimensions of 4556mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1719mm in height. It adopts MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension, equipped with systems including panoramic imaging, power tailgate, panoramic sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless entry, and one-touch start.
I've been driving this Roewe RX5 for quite a while, and turning off the default radio is actually quite easy. After the car engine starts, the radio often plays automatically, which can be quite noisy sometimes. The solution is to directly operate the volume control knob on the steering wheel: rotate it to turn the sound down to the minimum, or gently press the mute button on the steering wheel, and it will immediately go silent. If you want it to start quietly every time, you need to go into the settings menu on the central control screen. Open the "System" option, find "Audio Settings," and there's a switch for "Play Radio on Startup." Turn it off and save the settings. Next time you drive, you won't have to worry about the noise. I think this is quite convenient, especially when focusing on navigation while driving—less distraction means safer driving. Also, note that the settings location may vary slightly depending on the vehicle model. If you can't figure it out, refer to the user manual or ask the 4S store.
When I first got my driver's license, I couldn't figure out why the Roewe RX5 always automatically turned on the radio. The steps to turn it off are simple: press the mute button on top of the volume knob right after getting in the car, and it will shut up instantly. Alternatively, just turn the volume knob to mute. If you want no sound at startup every time, you'll need to adjust the settings in the central control screen. Click the main menu, select "Vehicle," then go to "Audio Settings," and set the "Default Audio Source" to mute or disable the auto-start option. Save the settings and restart the car to test the effect. These settings are hidden in the system, so take your time exploring—don't worry about clicking the wrong thing. I think this is beginner-friendly, as it helps maintain a quiet driving environment without interfering with music or phone calls. I recommend getting familiar with the screen functions through regular use; you'll get the hang of it after a few tries.
