If the BMW 3 Series (E46) crashes to the severity that the airbags are deployed, will the radio automatically be turned off by the vehicle's impact detection systems?

I know the car will automatically turn on the hazard warning lights, and that it will also unlock the doors upon impact. (if they were locked) But I don't know whether or not it will turn off the radio. - Obviously I don't intend on trying this out for myself, hence the question. :)

most likely yes. BMW provides some of the best passenger safety in the world. If everything else turns off, then the likely hood of the radio turining off is highly probable. Ive also read that during a extremely dangerous impact, it servers the connection with the battery so as to not ignite a spark in case of fuel leakage.
 
If you hit something hard enough to deploy the airbags, I would imagine that wondering whether or not the radio was still on would be very low on your list of priorities.
