Our home town has a drive in theater, of course the sound comes through the radio and we like to park backwards in the spot with the hatch open sitting on camp chairs. The problem is that after about 20 minutes, the electrical power shuts off and one of us has to get up and hit the start button again. Is there a procedure for keeping the electrical power on without it shutting down every 20 minutes?

 

There is advanced programming possible in the Mazda computer system and I suspect this is possible.

I was was able to find one YouTube video that I used to change some things in my Mazda but I know I only found a fraction of what is possible.

The question is: Anybody know anyone programming Mazdas?

 

Leave the transmission in neutral instead of park.

 

Before shutting the car off depress and hold in the shifter button as you press the Start button to shut the car off. The infotainment system will remain powered up for some period of time, dunno what that period is though. Give it a try and report back.

 

Thnx for the replies, I'll try those.

 

Let us know what works, if anything.
