The VW Infotainment System is the main vehicle communication system. It includes the Navigation system, Vehicle Settings, Radio, and allows "hands-free" driving with cell phone connectivity via Bluetooth. Once the Radio module within the Infotainment system is turned ON.....it cannot be turned OFF. It does have Mute and Pause, however, any thing else that uses the audio immediately kicks the radio ON at various levels. For example, in heavy traffic where CONCENTRATION and DISTRACTION-FREE attention is needed, a text message to your phone or a Voice command from navigation will kick ON the Radio....non stop. When this happens, you must change out the Nav screen over to the Radio screen and pause or mute the radio to hear the voice commands and re-do the last instruction....while driving. I have had the VW Service Center at the dealership look at it several times...they cannot fix it. No one is able to turn the radio off. Only the ENTIRE Infotainment system (no hands-free The VW Customer Care says "you can turn the entire Infotainment system off" altogether and have NO functions/features available.
