How to turn off the radio in BMW X3?
2 Answers
In general, press the radio switch at the bottom left corner of the multimedia display screen to turn off the radio. Below is the relevant introduction to car radios: 1. RPT function: RPT is the single-track repeat playback button. Press the RPT button to repeat the current track, and press it again to cancel the RPT function. 2. SCR button: The SCR button refers to the function that, in the case of MP3 or WMA files with long song names, pressing SCR will display the latter part of the song name in stages on the LCD screen. 3. INTRO mode: It represents the overture or opening track, meaning each song only plays a short segment at the beginning before moving to the next one.
As a regular BMW X3 owner who drives frequently, I find turning off the radio quite straightforward. Usually, when the radio is on, I simply press the volume knob on the steering wheel—that metal round button—and it instantly mutes the audio source with one click. If it doesn't respond, I operate via the central control screen: open the main menu's media option, locate the radio section, and select 'Turn Off.' Sometimes, when I suddenly need to focus on a phone call while driving, I mute it first by lightly tapping the volume button or sliding the touch bar. Note that older X3 models might require holding the power button for two to three seconds. I've also noticed that if you're connected to Bluetooth music, switching to another audio source automatically turns off the radio. This little trick comes in handy during highway drives.
