Default Retained Accessory Power for St

How come the ES has it but RX doesnt? The specs say it doesnt work the way I want it to. Basically I want to be able to listen to the stereo and windows/moonroof as long as I am inside the car.

The retained power for the RX works for only a short period of time after you turn the engine off and haven't yet opened the door. Yes, unfortunately you cannot listen to the radio, but the windows/moonroof still work.

The lights on the window switches will stay lit up until the retained power goes out.

When I want to continue listening to the radio, I turn the ignition off and leave the key on ACC. The engine turns off and the music keeps playing without interruption.
