ST 2021 - how can i keep the radio OFF?

[cillik]

for some reason my radio keeps turning it self on whenever i restart the car
As well I noticed when I leave the car running and walk away the radio goes to full volume
I never listen to the radio, how can I just keep it OFF all the time?

Have you tried resetting SYNC?

Funny, sometimes the radio in mine is off on start up, and it won't turn on unless I complete a hard reboot.

It's interesting that you are suddenly experiencing this in your 2021 ST. The 'audio on' start up default setting for my 2025 ST annoyed me ever since I bought it in January and has been a topic of discussion elsewhere on this forum. To my surprise after the last software update Ford pushed to my vehicle the audio now stays off on start up! I don't know what they did but I'm happy about it. Now if I can just get it to read my text messages...

My 24' does this. Always tunes to whatever FM station i last left on it, which is none. I use my phone to play music. So i tuned to some boring classical station so I don't get blasted with annoying sounds on startup. I prefer that it goes right to my phone with apple sync and wait for me to take action or start playing the last playlist on the music app I was using. Funny thing is this does happen occasionally, I give it a 25% chance that happens, otherwise I get the stupid radio starting to play.
