I’m not the OP, just adding my experience with using USB in relation to silencing the radio.That would have been helpful to know in the first post, then people have a baseline to work with.

And the only way you connect Android Auto in the Gladiator is with a cable , right ? No wireless.The Jeep is better than our Subaru with this. If the last thing I used in the Jeep was Android Auto then that's where it stays. If I'm not connected the radio doesn't play.
In the Subaru it plays the friggin radio as soon as you unplug Android, and it defaults to radio until you reconnect Android
Not 100% on Android, but Apple CarPlay can be made wireless by buying a wireless adapter. The adapter is plugged into the USB port in the Jeep, then the phone connects to the adapter.And the only way you connect Android Auto in the Gladiator is with a cable , right ? No wireless.
But that takes time and it defaults to radio because of the lag is my guess.Not 100% on Android, but Apple CarPlay can be made wireless by buying a wireless adapter. The adapter is plugged into the USB port in the Jeep, then the phone connects to the adapter.
Yes but there are wireless adapters. I've never tried one. I always plug in unless it's just a short trip, then the radio isn't on.And the only way you connect Android Auto in the Gladiator is with a cable , right ? No wireless.
This is actually a good option. Personally, I always plug my phone in and Carplay "starts up" and automatically shifts the source to my phone. Then I can decide if I want music or not. Point is, plugging my phone in forces the shift away from all other sources...no radio.Change the source to USB.
It was confusing the way you posted it. This response gives some clarity. And now you see others have responded with some ideasWhat's confusing ?? The reason is to use the screen for the other apps, without the radio on.
it seems like all vehicles are doing that. At least something similar. I guess its the whole thing of the head unit being the entire brains of the car and it needs to be on. I don't see why it needs to be making noise though.That's the only thing that actually works. It's like "no, this is JEEP speaking you WILL listen to the radio, we insist!" Mute unmutes at a restart.
If you turn the volume down, then phone calls and notifications are not muted.Then it mutes paired Bluetooth phone calls, texts. I just want to turn the radio off but have the screen on.
I understand. Your question excluded pressing the mute button or turning the volume down.I knew that all along. However, that wasn't what I asked.
