    Push button start
    all stock / factory radio

    So....I'm listening to the radio, news,,, whatever.... and when i back into the garage, i"ll hit the button to turn the truck off and the radio goes off too...! :annoyed:

    I looked in my manual, audio manual, quick start guide, scrolled thru the old topics in here, but can't find anything.

    Can the radio be programmed to stay on after the truck is shut off but go off when the door is opened....? :confused:

    Push the button while you are still in gear. It’ll shut the motor off but leave accessories running. Then shift to park

    that’s how it worked on my lexus and Tacoma. I assume the tundra is the same

    If above doesn’t work, When the truck is off you should be able to turn the truck’s ACC on without starting the engine by hitting the button with your foot off the brake.

    Not my Tundra, buy my Mazda, put in Park, press brake pedal and shift button on shifter, then push on/off start button. It turns motor off and leaves on accessories. Try it, see if that works.

    After driving around today..... if i put it in park, hit the button, turn the truck off,hit the button again, it takes 16 seconds for the radio to come back on.
    When the truck is in gear, hitting the button, motor goes off, radio stays on, then ya gotta hit the button again to turn it off.

    I guess that'll have to do.... turn it off in gear to listen to the radio when getting out of the truck. o_O
