Shutting down i8 when car turned off
Hello- for some reason it is not allowing me to search.
I have 2023 M240x. How do I shut down the i8 when I turn the car off? Sometimes I just want to sit in the car and not have any distractions. I know I can turn the sound down but I don’t want it draining the battery. Thanks. |

More then once I’ve been playing on my phone before I return to work after lunch and everything just turns off. I think after 10 minutes everything turns off, even the little light in the center glove box. |

The thing is the car is always on even when you exit and lock the vehicle. ID8 doesn’t really shut down. It go into a lower power state I guess but it’s always on to connect with data for the connected services. The battery and alternator are pretty beefy so it should be fine. Haven’t tried myself but I think the car should be able to sit for at least 3 weeks without an issue.

There have been times when mine has shut off after 3 minutes, with audio playing from my phone. These computers just do whatever they want |

Thanks. The only thing that worked was pressing the volume button and holding it.
Interesting that the i8 genius at dealership said that I can’t shut it off but I was on my phone in my car for 30 minutes yesterday after pressing volume button and i8 never came back up. Thanks again. |
