ACC Power for Windows/Radio/Etc

[Chris Callanan]

Ok, so back in the "old" days, you could turn your key half way and run the power windows, listen to the radio, etc...

 

Now we have Retained Accessory Power for ~10 minutes after you turn off the engine, but what if you haven't started the engine yet and  you want to put the windows up/down??   Or sit and listen to the radio....   

 

With push button start we have lost the ACC mode - any way to get it back?

You could push the radio power button in the previous gen trucks and turn the radio on. No key required. I believe they may have kept that feature in this gen as well.

You must push and hold the push to start button without your foot on the brake.  Problem is, it doesn't allow radio play for very long.

I knew it was in there somewhere .. my poor brain just missed it... (was actually on page 222 of the online version of mine...)

Yeah, this is a fail on GMs part.  5 minutes is all you get.
