Grand Cherokee radio defaults
I have a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. Every time I start the car, no matter what I've tried (and it's been a lot), the radio/media player/whatever was last playing automatically is on. I have looked and tried everywhere to change the default to off on starting the car, but cannot find anything. Can anyone help?

I'm not sure I quite understand exactly what you're looking to do, but from what I am reading from your post, it starts playing whatever you left on when you shut it off, and you don't want anything to be playing when you turn on the Jeep. If you press the Power/Volume **** before you get out, there should be a picture of a speaker with a line through it, and 'Audio Off' in the center part of the top of the screen (where the radio/media information displays regularly when something is playing). This is just what I'd call a "Soft-Off", as the touchscreen still remains active for all other functions (GPS navigation, vehicle settings, climate, etc.), and if a phone call comes in on your Bluetooth phone (or text message), you'll hear ringing through your speakers (in order to adjust the volume of the Bluetooth, you have to do it either when it's ringing, or while you're talking to someone using the Power/Volume ****). If you touch either 'Radio' or 'Media' when you see 'Audio Off' at the top of the screen, then the system will start playing. As long as you don't touch the 'Radio' or 'Media' icons at the bottom of the screen, and you press the 'Power/Volume' ****, then the audio system should be off when you start your Jeep the next time. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply, Vince. Hoping to clarify your understanding, when I arrive at my destination, put the car into park, turn off the radio or media player and turn off the car (speaker with the line through it is visible), the next time I start the car, the radio or media player (whichever was the last one playing) comes on - no ***** pushed; its just on. Any thoughts?
