Default Retain accessory power after turning car off

I've not been able to figure this out yet, and don't know whether it's possible. I arrive at the destination, put the car in Park, and then push the Start/Stop button to turn power off (to save gas). Immediately, all powers go off (radio, phone, etc.). I notice that I can still roll up/down windows though.


Is there a setting or a way to retain the accessory power until:

a. I open the door (similar to MB cars)

b. after say 15 minutes



Any input is greatly appreciated.

I'm not aware of any setting but we were just discussing this and it was confirmed that it does work in the GX460

Not exactly one of your choices but it does work.

Hope this helps!
