Radio when engine off

Hi,

Is it possible to turn the radio on when the engine is off? It does not seem possible and therefore a little bit of an oversight from my opinion.

Happy to be directed to a way round this little issue!!

Just push the start/stop button without using your feet? Laughing

We've covered this before. The sound system uses significant power and will flatten the battery in no-time, hence the 10 minute auto switch-off.

Sorry, tried a search but to no avail. Happy now I know the start/stop button is the key. I foolishly tried the sound system on/off button Exclamation

The radio will come on without pushing the stop/start button as my step daughter demonstrated,i think she just pushed the control knob by the cd slot,it took a while but it did come on as we were watching the tv while waiting to collect her friend.
