2026 Gladiator Rubicon: How do you turn off the radio but keep Android Auto navigation running?
I'm trying to figure out if there's a setting I'm missing or if this is just how the Uconnect system works.
Here's my situation:
I'm listening to the radio while Android Auto is connected and an active navigati route using Google Maps on the screen. When I'm done listening to the radio, I'd like to turn the radio off but keep Google Maps displayed and continue hearing navigation instructions and alerts.
The problem is that pressing the physical volume/power knob turns off the screen. Turning the volume all the way down or pressing mute silences the navigation instructions and alerts along with the radio.
Is there a way to stop the radio from playing without turning off the Uconnect system or muting all audio? Ideally, I'd like to keep Android Auto and Google Maps running, with navigation voice prompts and alerts still audible, but have no radio playing in the background.
Is there a setting I need to change, or is there another way to do this? I'd like to hear how others handle this.
Note: I have not changed any settings, it is still set to whatever the dealership had it set to.
