Is there another way to do this? When your on a call or listening to the radio you shouldn't have to turn the car off then turn it back on in ACC mode to get this functionality. (FYI - I have push button start if that changes anything).
I know that the following definitely works with the AT car. This was posted by AznBRZer: While stopped but still in gear (brake on), turn the engine off, then place gear shifter in park.
I guess that for the MT, you have already tried turning off the engine while still in gear. Or maybe have you tried shutting off the engine while in neutral with handbrake on?
This is definitely a significant inconvenience that you would think, should have warranted a work-around by the car manufacturers.
