Default Different ways to use the Start Engine Button?

Hey all,

I'm just wondering if there is a way to go thru the different modes when using the Start Button without having to go through each mode sequentially?

For instance, if there anyway to go from Accessory I to OFF without having to go through Accessory II first?

Hope you guys understand what I mean when I say Acc I and Acc II...

Thanks!

Well when I want to park and turn the engine off but leave the music on, I leave it in drive, press the start button and then put the shifter in park

No I mean drive (foot on the brake of course). Neutral surely works too, but I just leave it in drive, no problems

Wow I'm gonna try that tomorrow! It's the most annoying thing when I get to my destination and I'm still on my phone via bluetooth and have to sit there with my car running until I finish my conversation.

This use to bother me to. I figured out that you just have to put the phone on speaker phone for a few minutes until the car disconnects from the phone.

I guess I could but I've just grown so used to the car's handsfree system that I hate putting the phone to my ear now. And I'm done completely with bluetooth headsets I hate them.
