is there a way to power the unit off  other then just screen off ?

can't seem to locate anything.

also i wish the center button on the remote could be used to skip preset radio stations , so much  comfy in the hand  rather then fighting to find the 2 smaller buttons at verry bottom of the remote.

only the x200 units I belive, not sure if it's all of them.... any of the x100 and before can't do that

On my 8100 I hit the middle button and select AV. On that screen is a power off icon. I stumbled on it one day

.......and it turns the screen black. Thats it. The unit is still powered up.

ok thanks , was hoping to get it to power down if needed , also  weather  on the map  is there anyway to get canada  to show up   as it only shows us cities and i have correct region selected.

not sure what you're talking about. I get to a screen that among a bunch of selections has a power off selection. hit that and the unit turns off.

Unless you have the 8200, no it doesn't. If you have a powered antenna, it'll stay up.

Well ok mine turns off

When you turn it back on without touching the car's key/ignition/pushbutton, does the unit reboot from the splash screen or does the screen just come back on? If it's the latter, then no your unit does not turn off. It's merely in "standby".

Im curious why anyone needs the unit to shut off completely?

because   the odd odd time if the map freezes  constantly trying to load ect ,  only way out  in my car is to put in park shut off my car and open driver door,  al that just to get the deck to reboot.

Ditto... reboot the HU.  AFAIK, anyone with a computer understands the need or desire at times to do a reboot. ))

Duh

Is your screen removable? That should turn off the unit, it does on the 4100.
