turning engine off but leaving electronics on?

I tried searching the forums for this, but no luck. I will admit I havent gotten a chance to search my manual, but here goes.


Is it possible to turn the car engine off, WITHOUT turning the navigation/audio/electronics off? My reason for this is because when I turn my car on, it usually takes a few minutes for the car to read/load my compact flash card (I believe this is because I have alot of folders in it, and the car doesnt like it for some reason), and sometimes I want to turn the car off without turning the electronics off, in order to not have to wait for the car to reload the stuff again.

I know all non-keyless cars can do this (just rotate key from on to the other one), and am sure there must be a way to do the same with our cars.

Any help is appreciated

With the engine running, press the ignition button twice quickly to shut off the car and keep the accessories on. [/thread]

Pat your head while rubbing your tummy and say "Beetlejuice" 3 times real fast.
