Default keeping the radio on...after

Hey guys, I did a quick search and didn't come up with a solution or answer.

So when the engine is on, how do I ONLY turn off the engine but keeping the radio on. Without having to turn off the whole system then turning the radio on again.

Sometimes I get to work early to beat traffic and I hang out in my car

I'm sure someone knows x)

That's what I usually do too. Turn completely off and turn on radio only after.

Put car in neutral, turn off car, put car in park. Radio stays on.

Assuming the radio is "On". Shift the transmission into Neutral. Turn off the engine. Then move the trans lever on up into Park. The radio is still "On" but the engine is now off.

Nice tip on keeping the radio on after parking! I'll have to try that.

I'm thinking when the car is off & you're sitting in the front seat:

Foot off brake - hit the START/STOP button once. Radio comes on, engine is left off.

If you do the same sequence, but hit the button twice, the entire car system will cycle, but engine stills stays off.
