Default How to play music with engine off?

If I want to listen to music, do I have to turn the engine on? I know that the seats move when the car is off so I was wondering if it is possible to turn on the cd player also.

Thanks

With the key fob inside and your foot off the brake press the start button once.

You should be able to turn on accessories mode by pushing the start button without putting your foot on the brake. This will cause the dash lights to come on, and your stereo on.

Pushing start again without the brakes goes into the full accessories mode, where you can roll down windows and run the AC/fan.

Then finally pushing the start a final time without the brakes will shut the car off.

At any of these stages, you can push start WITH the brakes and the engine will come on.

Does the car have any display which lets you know which mode you're in? On most turn-key cars, you'll have a designation for which mode you're in.

Thanks for the help.
I just discover new things about this car everyday.
I didn't even notice the light under the sideview mirrors until the day after I bought the car.

I just found out that I can turn off side mirror tilted when you back up. That thing annoyed me.
