Okay, there is an aspect of the push button ignition that is driving me batsh*t crazy. When you push the button to turn the car off, can you go to the ACC position, instead of all the way off? I think I managed to do this one time, but now it seems like a fluke. I've tried everything to figure this out, from holding the button down, to pushing it real quickly. Most cars let you do this, but most cars also don't have a button instead of a key to turn. In my old car I could just turn the key to the ACC position, instead of all the way to the off position.

Please tell me there is a way to do this.

yes. basically, I want to be able to turn off the engine without turning off the radio. right now, pressing the button to turn off the engine causes the radio to turn off too.

Just keep your foot of the brake when you press the botton to turn off the car. Then hit the bottun a second time (still keeping your foot off the brake).

Yup, just two quick taps of the button will turn off the engine while leaving your stereo on. I do it all the time.
