Keeping the car in Aux Mode after turned it off

I just discovered today after almost 5 months with my car something that I've been missing a lot, the ability to keep the G in Aux mode (Perfect for keeping the Phone conversation or hear the radio with your car off). By accident I pressed the Power button twice fast trying to turn it off and for my surprise it kept the car in AUx mode.

I've never read about that in the forum and I didn't see that in the manual (maybe it's there), so I decided to post it here for you guys that maybe don't know about it.

Again, if if it was posted before, Sorry, and if it's in the manual, shame on me, I don't like to read anything other than forum threads...

^I'm confused here, I don't know if you are been sarcastic, or you really meant that.

Just in case it's sarcasm, I think I made it clear that it's when you have your car on and wants to keep your phone conversation on your Bluetooth or even keep hearing the song you were hearing, etc..., again, just in case you wanted to be funny...

haha nah i was actually being serious, sorry if you took it as sarcasm but i literally one day went and sat in my car to take my brothers to school and my little brother (7) goes what happen if you press the buttons without the brakes and i got curious myself and pressed it and the car kind of just turn on without turning on all the way and the radio came on and i was like hmm that how you turn it on without turning it on haha. I only done it like three times though cause i didnt know if doing that would mess up my car

Are you saying that once you parked your car, if you instead of press brake and press Power button to turn it off, just press twice the button without brake then it stays on and in ACC mode? , because if what you mean is what everybody here know about get the car in ACC mode without turning it on, then you didn't understand the point of this thread, pople, I posted this thread as a HINT for all the people like me that didn't even know that if you were driving your car and were in a phone conversation or hearing the radio and you get to your place, you don't need to keep your car on to keep doing what you were doing, just push twice the Power button and it will keep the car in ACC mode.

^It's a security measure, so I don't think it's possible.

Well, exactly that, not to turn on the car without the brake, so no accidental start, the same that not letting you change from P to D without braking.
