I get the stuff that I need(a jacket or something like that) and exit the X1. Close the door. The stereo continues to play for a while before turning off.

If I do that too many times, it will probably drain the battery unnecessarily which is what I'm trying to avoid.

Is there anyway to prevent that for the above scenario?
The car electronics will turn off a few seconds after you lock the car. The only possible solution I can think of is if you have the unlock on approach feature toggled on and you bring your key with you when you go to get something out of the car. When you walk away with the key it will lock and shut everything off.
