Radio question

[OldSpice]

Awesome car but can you listen to the radio with the engine off while waiting in the car?

Yes, press start button without pressing brake down and you will have power without engine running. You will get a message that if you leave it on that the battery may run down.

Yes. Turn off the car after parking, push the start button with your foot off the brake. You're now in ACC and the radio works. Don't worry about the battery. Despite the nag on the screen, the radio will turn off to protect the battery after 30-60 minutes, I forget which. You can always repeat step one for another 30-60 minutes without draining the battery.

On my 2009 V8/Tech it's 60 minutes before it shuts itself off. I've had the stereo blaring through open windows & sunroof a few times to listen to races on XM. (car was in the garage - I wasn't blasting the neighbors!) I've even restarted the system after one auto-shut-off so the system was working for around an hour and a half. Engine started up perfectly normally after that too.

I do use the systems options page to blank the LCD... though with the nag screens still displaying every few minutes I doubt I'm saving much battery.
