Is there a way to turn the engine off and radio on?

I cannot figure out how to turn my engine off (while it's running) and keep the radio on. Is there a way to do that?
I own '15 Rx350. Thanks in advance!

Put it in to neutral (instead of park), press the ignition button to turn off the engine, then shift in to park.

Then, to start the car again without cycling through:
While in Park, push the shifter to the right.
The Start button will turn green - hold brake and push Start.

I've been wondering how to do this too. You get home while you're listening to a song or news story, and you want to turn the turn the engine off and close the garage door but not miss anything. Just turning off the engine then putting the vehicle back in Accessory mode will make you miss 5-10 seconds of whatever you're listening to.

Mikes94GS3, thanks for the tip!
