    This is probably some place in the manual but thought I’d ask here... on a key ignition, you can turn the ignition ON and roll up windows, listen to music in a parking lot, and do any powered events Without starting the engine. Is this possible somehow with the push button ignition? Can I get power/electric ON without the motor Or do I have to start the engine to roll up a window or play music ?

    Without your foot on the brake, push the start button twice.

    Yep, don't touch the brake pedal.

    Once for accessory mode, twice for on.

    If you want to park with the radio still going, simply turn the ignition off in gear.

    The screen next to your speedo will tell you which mode you're in. You'll have to wait for the "boot screen" to finish loading to see it though. It will be on the bottom of the screen.

    I just insert the key into the ignition and turn it fwd once for just radio and as second time for full electric power without the engine running.

    I've read this but never had it work. Maybe I'm not going it long enough? Can you actually verify that you've done this

    Neutral with the parking brake is probably better for the engine
