When you scroll thru the menu now, you don't see a setting for iVox? I think it IS designed to come on when you plug an accessory in but there should be a main setting to turn it on or off. Unless this radio is different from past ones I've seen.
From the manual:
Hands-Free Use Without Accessories ( )
You can use the iVOX feature to transmit hands-free without the need for any
headset accessories. Once iVOX is turned on, the radio detects your voice
and transmits when you speak into the internal microphone.
1. Press until Ivox appears on the display. The current setting On/Off
will flash.
2. Press or to select On or Off.
3. Press to set or to continue set up.
Hands-Free Use With Accessories ( )
You can transmit hands-free more reliably with the use of optional
headset accessories. Once VOX is turned on, the radio detects your voice
and transmits when you speak.
Many accessories (sold separately) are available for your radio. For more
information, visit our Web site at motorolasolutions.com/talkabout or

1. Turn the radio off and plug the VOX accessory into the accessory port.
2. Turn the radio on. VOX shows on the display.
3. Adjust the volume appropriately by rotating . Lower the volume
before placing the accessory on your head or in your ear.
4. To turn off, simply remove accessory.
Note: There is a short delay between the time you start talking and when
the radio transmits. There is a short delay before the transmission is
completed
