Default How to switch from ignition to acc?

On common cars with standard (key) ignition lock it is possible to turn off engine (ignition mode), and stay in accessories mode (to listen the music f.e.), but how to do it in our keyless system? Only "double click"?

P.S. Why the electric steering column moves in working position in acc mode? I think its more logically to move it in the ignition position, when you are going to drive... Any way to change that behaviour?

I dont quite understand this post. But if your asking on how to turn from when the car is on to acc when say your parked i dont know how. I wish i new how cause when i park and then turn off the car i have to push the button twice again to get back to acc.

Only way I see - is to turn off the car while the shift **** is not in the parking position.

He means turning off the engine and going straight to ACC - so the power doesnt get cut to radio, etc.

Hitting the button twice turns the power off, then back on.

I also wish that there was a way to turn off the engine and keep power to the radio, etc. I hate having to "double click" lol

It works from any position other than park. I've also done it by hitting the button while still in drive or reverse. (After the motor is off, I move the selector to park)

Not sure how to do it with a manual tranny, though...

While the engine is running select neutral and press the start button to kill the ignition then select park (The radio will stay on). With engine not running press start without depressing the brake.

i was able to go from on to acc in a manual once. not sure exactly how it happened but i was parked and i was very slowly pushing the button in. all of a sudden the engine shut off, but the radio kept going. wasn't able to reproduce the event again tho...
