Exclamation Radio
How do I keep radio on after turning off engine in 2014 Lexus? As soon as I turn off engine the radio shut off. All cars I've ever driven have a feature where the radio will play after turning off engine.

Easy. Just shift the transmission to neutral instead of park before pressing the start/stop button to turn off the engine. The engine will stop, but the radio will continue to play. Then shift the transmission to park.

True, but then you miss a bit of your song or radio program. Turn the car off with the gear selector in neutral and you won't miss anything.
