Can I turn the radio totally off? Totally off-not just the screen or audio off- so there is minimal power drain.

Can’t find anything in the manual.

Yes, push the center of the volume knob. That turns the audio off.

I am looking to turn the entire radio off, not just the audio.
Hmmm, the radio seems to be very integrated into sync and the center touchscreen. The volume knob I mentioned is probably the best you can do.

You have to state exactually what you want. If you mean radio off but the rest of the screen stuff on then maybe the forscan people can advise. Everything is integrated now days. OK lay down on the couch and tell us what you have against radios. LOL

You can turn the display off in the settings. That doesn't really turn anything off though.

No, you cannot because a bunch of functions of the truck that aren't radio are controlled by the APIM (which you would call the Radio).
