Question IG-On to ACC without turning everything OFF first???

I swear this car has made me feel dumb more times than I care to admit.... So here's what confused me today... With any normal car: say you want to park and hang out for a bit in the car but want to turn off the engine and just listen to the radio... Well you normally do that by simply turning the key from the On poisition to the ACC position which kills the engine but does NOT turn the radio for example off. In this car though I couldnt figure out how to do that. How can I just turn off the engine and go into ACC mode without having to turn everything off and turn it back on with my foot off the brake?

Okay, thats the first question. Now the second. Once Im in ACC, is there a way to just turn everything off from there without having to cycle through the all on position which when Im sitting in my garage playing with something in the car forces my headlights to turn on because they are in auto mode.

Just nit picky things, but I was just curious and a little annoyed that I am confused by a damn car...

Once stopped, shift the car into Neutral then shut the car off. Then shift into Park once the car is off. The radio will stay on in ACC mode.

Nice, well its good to know that im not the only one who wonders this stuff! Okay so what im hearing is I need to put her in neutral, push the button, then that should leave me in ACC. Now after that Ill be able to move it into Park after the engine is off? ....Ill give it a try.
