Keeping the CD Player paused...
The following is what is normally the case and what I therefore call "normal" operation:
Prior to turning off the car I press Mute to pause the CD Player (or Changer). When I next trun on the engine, the player is still paused (muted).
The following then is not normal: Periodically, and without any obvious action on my part, the player will un-pause after restarting the car.
As randomly as it comes, the system seems to revert to "normal" after a period of time, although right now I am in the abnormal state.
I have tried muting before the engine is turned off and also after it is off but before pressing the Start Engine button (Keyless Go). No difference. I saw a somewhat similar post a few months ago regarding retaining the volume so I assume this is not completely unique but insights and suggestions are welcome as I now have to remember to mute the player (or radio) as soon as I start the car.

I mute it because I don't want it to be on when I start the car. I may mute it minutes before I stop driving....and likewise, I may not want any audio until I've driven a little while.

I could turn off the entire NAV system, but I shouldn't have to. I want the system to either operate the way it seems to be designed or, alternatively, the same way all the time.
My general question then is - does your system work as I have described as "normal".
When you say "turn off he CD player" do you mean switching to Radio, etc.

I think he meant to turn the entire system off, which is what I do. But, it's an annoyance that the nav also shuts off too. We've talked about this a long time ago here on the forum.
