This is my first push button start engine, so no ACC function with the key. Is it possible to turn on the radio without having to start on the car? I know about the engine shutoff feature if you are parked with the engine running, I am hopeful that there is another way to operate the radio.

Don't put your foot on the brake and push the engine start button. It'll go into the acc mode just like any other car. Same as any other car too it'll drain the battery and possibly damage it if you do it too much or extended periods of time.

Awesome, thank you.

If you push the start button a second time without your foot on the brake pedal, it will go from Accessories to On, which doesn't start the engine, but turns on more accessories (such as windows). And in Accessories mode, it shuts off after 1 hour.

Good to know. Thank you.

Does everyone's radio and dash lights stay on after you turn the ignition off until you open the door? I find this little annoying since its hard to tell if the engine is actually off.

Sometimes the engine is so quiet I have to look at the Tachometer to determine if the engine is running.

Thanks. I was trying to do a 4-hour upgrade for the radio and it kept shutting down after an hour. You just solved my problem!

Pretty much every modern car

Good to know. Thank you.

Also, without foot on brake, if you press the start button twice and go to acc mode, then On mode to open the windows or something, then press it 2 more times to go back to Acc mode, the window and sunroof functions will remain active for a period of time. It might be as little as 5 minutes. Just FYI
