How to turn off the radio in Audi A6L?
4 Answers
Audi A6L can directly switch to the media interface to turn off the radio, or press the volume button to mute to turn off the radio. Press and hold the volume knob to turn off the entire system. Press the "Radio" button on the MMI control panel to turn on the radio. The following is a related introduction about Audi A6L: Audi A6L is a car series developed by FAW-Volkswagen Audi based on the new A6 in Germany, serving as the successor to the A6. Audi A6L is equipped with three engines: the 2.0T low-power version engine model is DKU; the 2.0T high-power version engine model is DK; the 3.0T engine model is DLZ.
I used to be bothered by the radio auto-playing in my Audi A6L too, but I figured out three solutions: The simplest is to press the top of the center console volume knob—a light press mutes it, while holding it down for three seconds prompts the screen to turn off the entertainment system. If you find the sound too abrupt, you can first press the mute button on the volume roller on the left side of the steering wheel. For newer touchscreen models, tap the media icon on the home page to enter the playback interface, where you’ll see a red power button—tapping it shuts off the power completely. Remember to manually turn it off before parking and shutting off the engine, or it will automatically play the radio again the next time you start the car. I still vividly remember being startled by a radio ad early one morning—a lesson I won’t forget.
A veteran driver who has owned three generations of Audi A6L shares a tip: The MMI knob in the gearshift area is more convenient to operate than the touchscreen. If you suddenly want to turn off the radio while driving, simply rotate the knob clockwise to increase the volume. Wait until the media control bar appears on the screen, then lightly tap the upper edge of the knob twice to turn off the display. The older version with physical buttons is even simpler—just press the mute button with a speaker slash symbol on the center console. To completely turn it off, hold down the physical button for the digital radio. Note that models equipped with B&O audio have a separate amplifier, so merely turning off the screen may still consume power. It’s best to go into the vehicle settings’ sound options to completely shut down the media system power.
Attention new A6L owners: Press the white-lit MEDIA button below the AC screen twice – first to enter the media menu, then again to directly power off. Touchscreen users can swipe left to the negative home screen and tap the power symbol in the media control widget at bottom right. Long-time drivers should check the steering wheel's left multifunction area for the soundwave icon button. When all else fails, simply switch the media source to Bluetooth audio – even without a connected device, this will mute the radio. These tested quick-off shortcuts bypass deep menu navigation.
