So last night I pulled up the manual and started reading it cover to cover and I found out that you can 'semi OFF" the stuff after the engine is put into drive ready mode by holding down the OFF button for like a second. So I did that today and my OCD self was happier today than I have been since we got the thing. I am still looking back every time after I wander off a few feet to make sure I hear the locking beep from the proximity key feature.
That's why the feature is so good - your music stays on until you actually leave the car. Once that door opens (unless other people are in the car), everything shuts down. If you do things out of order, ie sometimes I forget to shut the car off b/c of ASS and the door is already open, everything will stay on. However once you lock the car it will shut it all down.
