Still everything is cool, I got my map screening going and the radio is playing
Here is the problem.
I want to turn the radio off, but don't want to kill the power to the comand unit. The only way I could figure out how to turn the radio (or CD for that matter) off was to either kill the power to the comand unit (which also kills my guidance) or turn the volume down all the way.
This is driving me nuts!!! How do I turn the radio off without powering the entire comand system off???
Thanks guys!
BTW: Steve did an awesome job on the install! Very nice guy!

I think there are 11 CD's, so if you sell off say 6 of them you think you want need at $40 each, that $240 right there.

What about calling Navteq directly. I know the make the Mercedes disks. I buy my Audi updates directly from them.
Worth a try.
To order replacement discs, get Canadian prices, or for other questions, you may call:
1-888-NAV-MAPS (628-6277)

as to reply to the question:
1) turn down volume all the way
2) mute audio with the mute button (which is what it is for)
3) set comand in AUX mode without AUX connected
4) set comand in TV mode (as that is active on yours)...
It was nice meeting y'all in the chicago area...thanks for showing up just as scheduled without any delays or flake outs!
Bill, thanks for the ride from the airport!
