Radio won't turn off?!!

In my 09 c63, the radio won't shut off, I turned the car on/off multiple tines and left the car off with alarm activated for 10 mins and the damn thing still won't turn off, and yes I hit the power button and that won't work either. Any ideas? Thanks!

Disconnect the battery, leave disconnected for a few mind then reconnect, see if that resets something

You're under warranty let the dealer fix it. Prolly a firmware or software update needed.

I'm curious how this is possible. My understanding is that the Comand unit is stand alone, and when you turn off the car, it should kill power to all of the accessories. The radios are almost always on their own circuit from a power standpoint.

Is this a push button start, or regular start...?? Seems to me that there is still power getting to the unit when their should not be.. that leads me to believe that it is not a radio issue, definitely take it to the dealer, as it is not a simple radio fix.

You can turn the radio on without a key in the car.

Anyways, it decided to turn off, and now it's working perfectly fine. Very strange indeed.

I ll be the exorcist. Believe me I ll be able to cast out all demons, evil spirits and demons in the car... though you might need to change the rotors after I am done exorcising.
