The method to turn off the radio in Jetta VS5: Press the MENU button to switch to music, then exit to turn it off. The Jetta VS5 is built on Volkswagen's advanced MQB A1 platform, equipped with the same EA211 1.4T 110KW engine used by Volkswagen and Audi, paired with the MQ250 manual transmission and Aisin AQ250 six-speed automatic transmission. The Jetta VS5 features front MacPherson independent suspension, rear multi-link independent suspension, ESP electronic stability system, ACC adaptive cruise control, and other core equipment. It also includes the KESSY smart keyless entry system, fifth-generation intelligent online anti-theft system, intelligent multifunctional trip computer, and car networking functions.
When I first drove the Jetta VS5, I also spent a few days figuring out how to turn off the radio. The most direct way is to press the button with the speaker icon on the center console panel, located right next to the air conditioning knob—one press and the sound immediately stops. If the radio pops up while listening to music from a USB drive, you need to go into the center screen, tap 'Media,' and switch back to USB. There’s also a mute button on the left side of the steering wheel for temporary silence, but it doesn’t actually turn off the radio. Sometimes, after turning off and restarting the car, the radio automatically turns back on. I later discovered it’s due to the system’s memory function—you have to disable 'Auto Play on Startup' in the settings. Actually, when using the multifunction steering wheel buttons to skip tracks, it’s easy to accidentally trigger the radio. You’ll need to get used to the button positions to minimize accidental presses.
