SubaruGuy Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Silly question but how do heck do you turn off the unit... ? I miss the rotary buttons on the factory units... By pressing Mode, it only blackout the screen but the unit is till running... is there an easy 1 step action to turn off completly ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jhren Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 If wired per installation manual, the only common way is to turn ignition key to off. Uncommon ways are to pull fuse or car battery. If you want another [somewhat common] way to turn off, install a switch inline with HU ignition lead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
koush Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 If you go to the home screen, the button below the map, then press AV button, it gives you a list of sources, and an off option. Koush Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Koush ...but that doesn't really turn the unit off, i.e. same as ignition key in off position. That's more like a standby mode. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
koush Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 I am assuming that's what the op was asking, but yes to turn it off completely you need to remove the key Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SubaruGuy Posted February 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 what i need is to silent the unit and to shutdown the screen (while driving) in a quick easy step... Sometime i really need quietness and to kill the flashing gizmos... The only way i found was to remove the key pannel (the anti-theft) thing. but that's not not ez enough especially while im driving.

Sometime i really need quietness and to kill the flashing gizmos... As koush said... for silence, touch A/V panel on home screen, touch Off. I'm uncertain whether this silences sounds from navi' and connected phone. I've not tried it. Perhaps others will weigh in on that... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nanohead Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 I was looking for the exact same thing in my 5000NEX. Same exact reason..... Sometimes I need silence immediately, and there's no easy way to do it here. Its even a PITA to Mute the thing, you have to touch a volume button just to get the mute to come up on the touchscreen Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yea, I tried that and it seems to sometimes hose my settings. Note to self, get that bugger screwed in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
