Power off Radio when turn off Ignition
Does anyone know if there is a way to set the car to power off the Radio when turn off the ignition? I am not sure about you guys but I don't find leaving the ratio on after power off the vehicle is useful. At least power off after opening the driver door or something.
Thanks, |

What works best for me is to hold the Engine On/Off button for a couple of seconds, this completely shuts off all functions, including the radio, then exit the car.
Pressing the button quickly will only shut off the engine, a second push on the button will shut off the accessories (so long as you keep your foot off the brake pedal, otherwise the engine will turn on again). |

Here's one thing I'd kind of like to know: Suppose the car, an automatic, dies when it's in motion. How do you restart it? Do you have to put it in neutral? park? do you have to step on the brake? Any of those things might be inconvenient, depending on traffic conditions.

The f10 might of course behave very different; you probably have to put a foot on the brake even if the car is moving. But you don’t need to push very hard, and since the servo is gone, it would not really slow down the car much anyway even if you apply normal force on the brake. The electrical steering on none X drive models steering servo might also work even without engine running so we might be better off in that area. This is off cource things that good to know before your in the situation, so if anyone actually had a f10 engine that died when moving it would be good to know what happened. |

I am just curious, I have been thinking about this situation, it has a few threads.
Do most of you have your foot on the break pedal when you push the button? My foot is off the pedal as soon as I engage park. By the time my hand moves from the shifter to the ignition button my foot is relaxed and off the pedal. I don't mean to be OCD on this but I am just wondering if I am in the minority on this. It kind of reminds me of the old timers who drive with one foot on the gas and the other on the brake pedal. So that even when they are accelerating the brake light is on. Lots of old timers in NYC where I grew up drove like that in the neighborhood, always cracked me up.

Speaking just for myself, when I bring a car to a stop, it is usually by using the brake. It would then be my habit to keep the brake depressed until I'm ready to move again, or to get out of the car. (I don't have auto hold and so I don't know how much, if at all, it would change the routine. But it has to be switched on every time you drive, so I'd guess not much.) So the double press of the Stop/Start button clashes with my routine.
