how to play audio when 4runner isn't running

[jonny gatos]

i've got a 2015 4runner with a push start system. how do i play the radio while the car isn't running? i can get it to play for awhile, but it cuts off and has to be restarted. taking the kids to a drive in movie this weekend that relies on the car's speakers, and i need to not be getting up to restart it over and over again.

thanks!

As far as I know, when you start the ACC power without hitting the brake and pushing the start button, the system is designed to shut power off after 20 mins to save battery power. Don't think there's any way around that from what the manual says. Unless you get an UPS (uninterrupted power supply) battery system, maybe that might work.

Thanks for the response. I actually found a solution in one of the other threads on here. If you put on the parking brake and leave the car in neutral when turning it off, it will apparently keep playing the radio indefinitely. worked for me!
