Maybe I'm missing something, but there doesn't seem to be a acc key position in the new JSW. Is this correct? Or am I missing something? Often when I'm pulling into my driveway I will be into something on the radio and have always shut down the old Titan, left the key on acc and finished listening to the program. When I try that in the JSW the radio turns off. What the f***?

Your radio shouldn't be shutting off when you turn the key off I don't think. You can walk out to your car right now and hit the power button the radio and it will come on. If it turns off just turn it back on by hitting the power button. No ACC position needed.

I thought the same thing, where is the accessory position? Then learned the VW radio can be run for up to 30 minutes without any key, just hit the power button.

Now, if you do that and have finished listening and you switch the radio off, the radio will be off when you next start the car (it won't come on with the switch until you turn it on).
