Prevent car battery from shutting off?
Can I stop the car battery from shutting off, after 20 minutes, if the car isn't running? Especially when I'm listening to the radio.
I'm considering going to a drive-in, but don't want the radio to keep shutting off.
I do have a portable radio, but I think the sound quality of the car speakers might be better.

It's not like the sound quality the drive-in is broadcasting is wonderful. I'd just use the portable radio.
I'm ancient enough to remember when you'd roll down the window half way and clip the drive-in-provided speaker to it. I liked that better than the radio-tuner way.

Thanks. I've never been to a drive-in before.
This is actually going to be a drive-in concert, not a movie.
So I would hope the sound quality would be a little better than normal. But we'll see.
They won't be providing speakers.
I was hoping that the combination of FM broadcasting, and my car's speakers, it might sound decent.
Do you know if there's any setting to change the auto shut-off option?

And don’t forget the folks who would drive away with the speaker and a length of cable hanging from their windows.

When you say "on" position, that's still just the first press of the start button, correct? Not the 2nd one, which also enables windows and other power items?

Thank you for contacting Lexus.
We appreciate your inquiry regarding the operation of your audio system and the car battery. We completely understand that the having the battery in your ES 350 shut down after 20 minutes can be frustrating, especially at the drive-in.
We did research your concern and found that the auto shut off feature cannot be disabled. This is a feature that protects our guests from unintentional battery depletion. To be absolutely certain we did check and found that the feature is also not able to be customized for a longer period of time.
We hope that you found this information useful. Thank you again for contacting Lexus National Headquarters.
Sincerely,
