Need help please re: S55

I have a 2005 S55 AMG. Whenever I turn on Navigation or Cell Phone, the radio or CD player (what ever I was listening to last) will turn on.

For example, with power off, I press the “Cell” button and the radio turns on and it jumps to the cell phone screen. Jumping to the cell phone screen is perfect but I can’t figure out when the radio or CD goes on as well.

Second example: with power off, I get an incoming call, screen warns me of incoming call and I can either accept or reject…lets say I accept then the call is connected and I use the hands free to speak to the person. I then hang up the call and the radio is now on. So incoming calls also turn the radio or CD on.

This seems like a big oversight if you cannot turn it off. Does anyone else have this experience or a fix? According to Mercedes there is not way to turn this “feature” off.

I had the same issue with my phone as well. It is an oversight in my opinion. The dealer told me that if I did not want to hear the radio or CD, just use the mute button on the radio or CD. The phone ring is still audible, and you can converse with the hands free option.
