Today, while talking on my phone I pulled into the office jabbering on the phone and I let the clutch out with car in gear. The car of course stalled so I hopped out locked it and walked away. When I left work - dead battery! Why? because i did not hit the start button to shut off the ignition! I did this once somehow in my previous M35. Moral of the story always hit the off button.

 

haha. i've done it plenty of times already. kinda embarrassing in front of others.

 

didn't know that one, thanks! DOes this happen on the automatics???

 

Yes if you leave key in on position it will kill the battery

 

cant happen in autos. he talking about stalling the car and the car remaining in the acc. position and draining the battery.

 

Must not have had the radio on eh?

 

ur m35 was stick too?

 

If you let off the clutch, your car is still "half way" on. I thought everyone knew that haha.

i'm a GREAT automatic driver so i never stall. yeah i sound cocky, but it's true.

 

Now my M35X was an auto - I'm just not the sharpest knife in the drawer - I have the ignition on when I was doing the nav hack - That car had front AND rear DVD players.

 

never had that happen to me before; however, my battery did go dead the first day i had the car, have not happen since.

 

Use your bluetooth...

 

but if on ON or ACC then shouldn't you be able to lock the car? Or did you not lock?
