My 2020 M550i XD when put in park and engine turned off would still play the radio for 5 min. along with the screen staying up, or until the doors were locked which would turn everything off instantly. Now all of a sudden (I did Nothing!) as soon as I turn the car off the radio and screen turns off???

Did you do software update? This may have reset those settings, but you can change this in iDrive… Or someone has been playing with your iDrive settings and changed the sound and display settings…?

Try resetting your I Drive ? Sometimes computers get bugged out from the smallest things.
Press n hold volume for 30 seconds or until you see it restarting.

So what I have notice is if I open the door before pressing the ingition switch button off the radio stays on. If I press the switch before opening the door, everything turns off.

With mine, there is a set way to get out of the car for the music to stop when exiting the car.
If only driver in, then engine off, undo seat belt - open door - music goes off.

If someone has seatbelt on in passenger seat - music remains until they leave also.

There will be something of this happening I guess.
It has had a hiccup on occasion, but Joe-Bmw put me wise to it.

at times, my music stays on until i lock the car. seems pretty random to me. havent paid much attention to it yet to figure it out.

If you unbuckle (or don't buckle up) before shutting the car off, then the the entertainment will continue to play. To prevent this:

1
Hit the Stop button to kill the engine (this will put the car into park, but feel free to do this first manually if you like).

2
Unbuckle

3
Open door (kills Entertainment). If you have a passenger, the last one to open the door will kill the system.


I have my car set to lock all doors on drive off and to unlock all doors on Stop button. I doubt this matters, but noting.
