Pretty basic question here, but with the 4.0 pcm in my 2018 GTS, can you turn off the display once you've selected your music or radio station and it still play with a blank screen?

Thanks, Mike

I'm sure you've tried it by now and know the answer but I checked it out last night albeit in my 2020MY S. The radio carried on uninterrupted when I turned the display off.

Yep I was being stupid, helps if you read the instruction manual...

Press Car/Set and Switch Off Display!

I have the power off "button" as a widget on my home screen so it can easily be suppressed if it becomes a bit intrusive when driving at night. One touch to the blank screen brings it back on, as indeed will use of the voice command, "Display home screen" for example!
