I have a couple of "issues" My BMW requires two pushes of started button to first turn off the car then turn off accessories. Since the Bimmer is mine, when I drive my wifes 450h, I hit the button twice , electronics come back on but car does not start, so I have to start it to turn it off.

Then, in August I was going on a 2 week trip and left car at airport. Imagine the surprise when I got home and saw mirrors extended and knew the car was not locked. Lucky nothing happened.

X Man:

the radio I think will turn off when door is opened, but the nav screen with all the functions stays on. I know it turns off after 7-8 minutes but I really do not like leaving the car with the stuff on. So i push the starter button twice--and if you do that in the 450 the dash lites up on the second push and if you push again it does not turn off--so I have to start the car (push button and break pedal) and then turn it all off again.

BTW--my wife and I really love the car.

I'm a bit confused. I thought without touching the brake, 1st push was accessories like the radio, 2nd push was accessories plus windows and climate control and 3rd push without the brake was off. No so???

I'll have to check that out today.
