Default Turn off car when door is opened.

Hello guys I was just curious if we can change this setting on a Lexus. My old benz when I shut the car off the infotainment would be on until I opened the door is there any way to do that on a Lexus?

I'm not sure if there is such setting that can be changed, but what you can do is turn off the car with the shift lever in neutral, and then move it to park. That will turn off the engine and put the car straight into accessory mode without restarting the infotainment system. Although with this method you will still have to press the engine start stop button to turn it all the way off when exiting.
