Has anyone experienced this...

If my phone is connected through the car and then I switch from the car to iPhone, then turn the car off, the call remains on my phone as it should - however, the infotainment system will not turn off.

I can lock the car and leave it and the infotainment system will stay on until I both hang up the call AND unlock the door. Not even disconnecting the call alone will turn it off, I must unlock the door.

So, I if were to have locked the car, walked away continuing the call, ended the call at some point and not come back to the car for hours, the system would still be on until I unlocked the car (assuming my battery wasn’t dead by that point.)

Yes, I can disconnect an active call, turn off the car, and redial the call, but that seems ridiculous.

If others figured this out, please help.

I've had something similar... however, this was only with the passenger door. I noticed when pumping gas. The car had been shut off, yet the infotainment was still on. I opened and closed the passenger door with no change. This was only over a period of a couple minutes. Once the driver door was opened after pumping gas, the system shutoff with the door open.

 

Try turning off bluetooth on your phone to disconnect before you get out of the car. I think it wants to stay connected because you are on an active call. If you weren't on the phone it should behave as normal.

 

I just got in the habit of getting off the phone before I opened my door. Not a bad habit to get into anyway...

 

Yes, I’ve had it happen a couple of times. Seems a pretty silly thing to have to be on the lookout for, but a dead battery would be worse!

 

If I'm still on a call and arrived at a destination, just switch to phone or speakerphone, disconnect from Bluetooth.

 

There is a setting somewhere that turns screen off immediately rather than on a 30 sec delay. If you choose the turn off immediately option. whenever you hang up or move away from car or phone is no longer connected it automatically turns off. Otherwise it stays on for the alloted time and does not go off.
