Radio on and engine off?

radek7633 · 11-04-2010, 10:12 PM

Hey guys,

Got myself a grad present, 09 370z. I noticed on youtube people have their instruments on and radio playing without the engine running. I can't turn on my radio without running the engine... is this a setting i have to change or did i miss something?

Thanks

Radek

hit the start button twice without foot on the clutch.

Push the start button once, it will switch to acc mode, this will allow you to have the radio on.

so is it once or twice? lol

Once.

I gotta check - you need to hit it twice to get the instrument clusters to light up, right?

And yeah, just once for the radio...

The real trick is to turn the engine off while continuing to listen to the radio. Sort of a slow double tap.

Didn't you get a owner's manual with your car?

once turns on the acc mode(radio) to use your windows you need to hit it again to turn the car on but no engine running.

Hey Ive got a question: When you have the stereo and the T.V. on at the same time, how do you control the volume on the T.V.?
