My 2004 TL is in the shop today and they gave me a 2015 TLX as a loaner car. How the hell do you turn the radio all the way off in this thing? The car does not appear to have a Navi as far as I can tell because the upper display was showing XM song information. I figured out easily enough how to turn the radio volume all the way down, but the display continued to show the information about what was playing and I wanted to get rid of that altogether. Can someone tell me what I need to do? Thanks in advance!

(I didn't search because under the circumstances of having the car for a day or two maximum, it seemed to make more sense just to ask the question, hopefully get an answer, and have the moderators then lock the thread.)

I have to say based on the little amount of driving I've done that it's a very nice car. I prefer having some knobs and buttons instead of having to control everything via a touchscreen, and the automatic transmission is driving me crazy (been driving 26 years and I've never owned an automatic, but I certainly understand why loaner cars all have them). I'd need a lot more time with it to determine if I'd consider this to replace my TL if and when the time comes, which hopefully won't be for a long time!

There are two buttons between the two screens on the left. The one on the right is the power button, push on/off. The one of the lft is the volume control. If the button is flush, push to pop it out. The upper screen displays Navi, Radio, Phone or settings based on the corresponding buttons below the lower screen.

Easy when you know how!

Ahhh.....I see it now, the small button next to the CD slot? Thank you! Talk about making the button small and inconspicuous. I had pressed the volume knob in thinking it might turn it off (that's how my TL and my wife's RSX work), but obviously that didn't work.

I had just done a Google search for "2015 acura tlx how to turn off radio" and it wasn't working, so I was about to search for an owner's manual online. Thank you for the help!

Moderators may wish to lock the thread now!

LOL this made me chuckle

This is one of my biggest gripes with the TLX layout. It is by far the most ridiculous placement of a power button.

The placement of the audio power button has caused such grief!

Once you know where it is, it's a no brainer. I don't think I've ever turned mine off. The mute button works quite well.
