Default Radio/nav lock feature?

A strange question but I need to know if there is a way to "lock" a radio/nav on a 2011/2012? I would like to be able to prevent individuals from testing the limits of my speakers...
Thx

The best way to prevent misuse of your radio?
Don't let "individuals" have your keys.

Agree. If they've got the key, they can do what they want. No way to code lock the radio that I know of.

Thanks for the responses.
Good advice but not always easy to follow.
Planning on having film applied (car dropped off for the day...) and occasional service must be performed.
Like you, I don't hand over the keys too easily....

I guess I assumed you were referring to kids or family members. You're right, there's no way to keep service personnel from your keys, although mentioning to a service advisor ahead of time that you have your audio set a specific way might keep people from fooling with it. Service satisfaction surveys often ask if personal setting were changed in a car and dealers are very sensitive to those survey results.
