OK, tried the search....hard to come up with the right search term.

Isn't there a key postion to allow you to listen to the radio with the door open and NOT get the ding ding ding warning of leaving your key in??

I'd just like to sit and listen to the radio after lunch for a bit before going back in to work. I realize that if I was a youngin crankin the music up to party the noise would be drowned out...not the case here.

Thanks!

Unfortunately-no. However closing the door latches manually (just remember to kick them back open by pulling on either the inner or outer door handle before closing.) would override the door open switches. Hope this helps.

 

The only thing you can do, is leave the key in the on position, when all the dash lights come on. There isn't an accessory position anymore.

 

or open your windows, put the key in. get out of the car and close the door. then reach in and turn the key

 

the ding ding thing stops after a minute or so with the key in the on posistion and the door open.

 

not on mine, are you sure?

 

Have to check on the time limit. Got tired of hearing it and shut off the radio, took out the key, thanks.

 

its the second posistion when you turn the key. You have to turn the key 2 clicks. Its the posistion before the starter kicks in. The dinger stops with in 5 seconds

 

That is the "run" or "on" position. leaving it in that position will drain your battery faster than the accessory position because it will be powering all the dozens of sensors all over the car as if it were running. Each sensor being powered pulls a little bit of juice...and with so many sensors on these cars...that adds up quick! Not saying you shouldn't do it, but probably need to be careful if your going to do it for longer than say an hour. Also, make sure and turn off the HVAC (heat/vent/air conditioning) so the blower motor doesn't keep going.

 

I agree turn off your ac and you can listen to the tunes for an hour easy and still start the car no problem. I would guess you go 3 hours and still start no problem.

 

another option would be, start the car roll the window down get out close the door and reach in and turn the car off, you should have a good 15 minutes of play time with just the radio pulling power and no sensors i believe in your manual it shows a way to make the time the radio stays on after turning off the car even longer then 15 minutes, but im not possative
