Keyless start button: how to put it in ACC mode?

[Spaceywilly]

I would like to have this ability. In my WRX I usually put it to acc for the couple seconds it takes for the engine to stop spinning, then shut off and take the key out. In the BRZ I hit the button and have to listen to the final last gasps/chirps of the engine before I can let the clutch out. I think they should just make it so the radio stays on until you open the driver door like other cars have.

You said it all...

First world problems..

Yeah, I can agree with this issue... Sometimes I have to wait (Ok I'm married so I'm ALWAYS waiting on the wife for something) and instead of leaving the car running I'd like to cut it off and listen to music. Our Kia will let you turn the car off and then if you immediately hit the button again (without brake pedal pressed) it would jump right into ACC without powering down everything. Subie just needs to put a time delay on the radio shutting off when the car's power is cut. I wonder if you could mod this to stay on the same amount of time that the power windows stay active???

Read the owners manual but can't seem to replicate what they say:
something like " put manual transmission on neutral, release clutch, push start/stop button and check for flashing "key sign" in the dash...

Just got my car 2 weeks now but it completely annoys me to have to shut down the engine and push again on the start button to bring back radio on (but Pionneer radio takes minutes to boot).

Am sure many of you have figured it out already?

I see you're driving the manual tranny. Keep your foot off the clutch and push the button once. Et voila, ACC mode.

I believe what the OP is trying to say is - he wants a way to have the car default to acc instead of shutting down all the way (reaching destination). what you are referring to is coming from a cold start.


I was curious about this myself as usually like to take a few minutes to listen to the track(s) and clear my mind before a long days work.

I share your pain Bro (waiting time)...and this mod/fix would be great.

Tried it (no clutch, no brakes while engine running) and doesn't work. Everything shuts off (engine + radio). Like we said earlier, then need to hit start button again to bring radio back up but takes forever (this Pioneer unit must definitely be "Windows" based...)

I guess we'll have to live with it for now.

What happens when you stall?

....ummm....ok....? You want us to simulate this? lol just trying to understand your sense of direction.

[Spaceywilly]

I stalled once

It stays in on mode (as if you had pushed the button twice without pressing the clutch) then if you press the clutch and hit the button again it starts the engine.

its all good. Fortunately, I have yet (knock on wood) to stall. At least now I know what to expect when I do stall lol


I was just curious as to how stalling was essential to the OPs issue.

Good to know I'm not the only one annoyed with this. I usually sit in my car when I get back from lunch and read while listening to music. It would be really nice to just hold the button or something to switch the engine off but stay in ACC mode.

No idea how it was done, but I know a guy who rigged up his Civic to keep the stereo on until he opened AND THEN CLOSED the driver's door. Some relay madness, I'm sure, but he's a lot better with wiring than I am. Could have even been part of the alarm features for all I know.
