Stop auto playback when media device is connected

The manual says that when a music cd or music USB key or music sd card is plugged in, it will start playing automatically.

Is there a setting to disable this? I want to open and search the medium before it starts to play. Possible?

(I don't have the car yet. It's ordered and soon to be built. SLC 300)

Perhaps they changed the COMAND software for new models, but if I insert a USB drive, the system will only start playback if it was already turned on. For example, if I'm listening to music from a USB drive and I shut off the engine with the music still playing, it will resume playing the next time I start the car. However, if I turn it off (i.e., press the inaccurately labelled "Mute" button) upon parking and remove the drive, and then reinsert the drive the next time I start the car, it will remain off (i.e., "Muted") until I manually press the "Mute button again.
