    I was wondering if there is a mute button for my 2007's radio. I can't seem to find one. I find mute helpful when I pull up to a drive through window to place an order etc and I don't want to turn the volumn off all the way. I have been using the steering wheel buttons, but they are not a reactive as the mute buttons. I did not see any mention in my owner's manual. Any ideas? Thanks from a new and happy owner.

    Yes, it's the 'Power' button.

    You can also just hold down the Mode button and kill the audio after a few seconds. But as Vagabond mentioned, the Power button is the only Instant silence choice.

    There is no mute button to hold down.

    Read the post again. They said "mode" button, not "mute" button. It works; just hold down the mode button and it turns off the radio. Push it again, and it turns on in the same mode. Not quiet as easy as a mute button, but it does work.

    You are correct. Funny how the mind lets you see what you think.
