Is their any way to go from the on position (engine running) to the accessory position without first turning the car off completely? I sometimes want to sit for a moment after arriving at my destination, turn the engine off but keep the stereo on. This is easy to do with other cars that use standard keys.
I can’t find the info in the manual if it’s there…

 

Good question, I have wondered exactly the same thing. I often switch the engine off, when dropping my wife or daughter off and then wait for them and wish the stereo would stay on.

 

i don't think you could do it with any car w/ smart key....probably because safety hazard???? what if you're driving and "accidentally" push the button??

 

All you need to do is press the On/Off button twice quickly and the stereo will stay on.

 

EXCELLENT, I just tried it and it works.
Was this in the manual or did you find out by accident or some other resource?
Thanks,
Ron

 

It was posted on G35Driver in the 07 Section... Someone else figured it out but I just thought I'd pass on the info!

 

what is that slot under the trunk release on the left side for? do you put your key in there cuz i tried that and it fits????

 

You can start/operate your car that way if the battery in your intelligent key becomes discharged. See page 5-8 of your owners manual.

 

yes , it is in the manual.

 

can you point out where in the manual?

 

turn the car off then just press start button once with out pressing the clutch.

 

 

lol and i thought i was lazy...its just 1 more button push.

 

not lazy. idea is to not shut the car off completely but cut the engine. when i'm on the phone through bluetooth and i get to the destination i want to turn the engine off but want to keep talking through the system.

 

Just like a key when you back off the ignition but leave the
ACC on. It's in the manual. I think you need a foot on the brake but it is two pushes and ACC stays on.
