I have no useful suggestions, but I've got to say, adding this to the list of reasons I don't understand the obsession with push-button start. I have absolutely nothing in the PROs column and a long list of CONs.

I'm all for new fangled gadgetry but it has to add functionality without taking away basics.

There really is no reason that the push/stop shouldn't stop the engine, put the car in AUX mode, and then shut AUX mode off once the door is open or the key moves out of range, or after a certain time.

My Suburban already does this with the key (no push button), and it is a 2004. When you shut it off, the AUX power stays on even if you remove the key, for 10 minutes unless you open the door. Not exactly new technology.

I wish the FR-S did this.
