Once, right? Twice turns everything on, not just ACC.

^correct. Only one press needed for just radio.

2 presses turns everything else on as well.

When parking and waiting for someone, I usually turn the engine off while on anything BUT park. That way, the radio will stay on and the acc off. Just don't forget to select park after the engine goes off.

Also, when wanted to keep the accessories on and turning the car off, you can put the car in nuteral and then turn the car off and then the accessories will stay on. You just need to put it into park at that point.
