Peev: Music turns off only on door lock

The music only stops playing when I exit the car and lock it.

It wasn't like that on my previous X3,

Does anyone know if anything can be done?

Garage List
Just press the ignition button for the second time to turn off all systems.

It's been like that in my previous two cars. So, doesn't bother me but I can see how it could bother someone.

Same here, I can press the ignition a second, third,... and it still plays away. Most of the time when I open the door it finally stops. However, I swear that at least once it get going even after opening the door and I had to use the remote to lock the car to make it stop.

In my case sometimes it stops after opening the door, other times only when I effectively close the car. Weird behavior..

Confirmed, happens to me all the time. Really annoying.

I'm going to take it to the dealer, this and other issues like music apps working once in a blue moon and remote 3D images not rendering point to extensive software issues in the car.

Did you check IDrive setting for desired functionality?

I don’t think it’s a settings issue, more a relay issue with the amp? It’s pretty annoying to step out of the car to “I like big butts and I cannot lie” blasting

I kinda like this new feature.
It lets the audio to stay on as long as there is passenger in the front seat.
So the sequence is, turn off the car before opening the door, and once you open the door, all of the electronics will turn off automatically.
It confuses me at first, since my E60, F10, F15, and i3 turn of on the second press. And all of the BMW I ever touched prior the G30 also behaving the old way.
I guess BMW changed the way the start/stop buttom behaves.

The trick to turn the audio off when you accidentally open the door before you turn the car off, is press the volume button for couple seconds and it will shut off.

It should be an option as displayed above. Personally, I am done when I exit and do not need electronics continuing.

it should turn off once you open the door but sometimes it keeps playing..
once you close the car and turn on the alarm it shuts itself off. no big deal...

If you have it set in iDrive to turn off when you open the door make sure your foot is off the brake pedal when you open the door.

If you don't want the electronics to turn off when you open the door push and hold the dash volume button for a few seconds after engine shut down and that will shut things down. Why they changed this from double pushing the engine start button I don't know.

Obviously locking the car will accomplish this as well.
