How do you turn the radio/media off
Surely there is a better way to turn the radio off then turning the volume down all the way. Mute doesn't work because as soon as you activate voice anything, it unmutes. I have never had a car where you can't turn the radio/media system off.
Surely I missed something easy. My car has the comand system with navigation.
And while I'm asking questions...if I connect my iphone to the cable, it starts to play a podcast or music. How do I stop it from playing since often I just want to recharge the phone.

The on/off button in the middle of the volume knob turns of Comand completely...not just the radio....so it also turns off navigation and is not useful.
So, I'm still looking for how to turn off the radio or media device and leave navigation working with voice prompt. Sadly, I've now discovered that this question has been asked since 2006 and there is no definitive answer. Hard to believe....

I select something that I don't use and is therefore not connected. When you select it, screen says "No Device Connected" and then goes back to navigation.

I use the music register, radio, and media interface channels, so AUX is my open channel with nothing attached. Just pick something that you're not using.

You cannot turn the radio OFF independently to everything else. If you want all the Comand/courtesy stuff & no radio the ONLY way is just to turn it down. Of course if you let your Sirius expire then select SAT since you dont have it the radio has no sound. BUT its actually still on.
Crazy! Yep but all the Mercedes we have had for last 6 years were like that, even wife's SL500.
