Default Drive in movies

Have a 2015 Mazda3 gt wondering how to make the accessories stay on as it seems to time out? Want to go to the drive in and don't want to have to keep turning it on or miss some of the movie dialog. Thanks!

Oh, you must be goin' to one o' them new-fangled, high-falutin' drive-ins where they pipe the soundtrack in thru yer radio. Back in my day, son, we didn't need such fancy schmancy gimcrackery!! No, by gum, we listened to the movie the old-fashioned way - we hung that tinny little speaker right there on the winder, jes like God intended it to be!

Kids these daze, sheesh.....!

Was a bad attempt. Jokes are funny, that was a waste of his and my time. That's all.

I saw Jamie's reply to my admittedly semi-funny response. He seems to have a chip on his shoulder which I'd be more than happy to knock off if ever we are to meet. If he's what we call a "snowbird" around here, this opportunity may arise - be still, my beating heart!

As for his problem, he's probably pretty much fooked. Mazda has coded the system to time out the ACC in the event that dingbats leave it on accidentally thus killing the battery. Perhaps he can call his dealership and see if this item can be modified in the ECU. My guess is that it will not be allowed.

I wish him the best of luck and hope he lightens up a bit, life's too short to go thru it constantly peeved...

Didn't you hate it when the winders fogged over and you couldn't see the movie. But then, when that happened, the movie wasn't what was on your mind.

Alright I'm sure I had just woken up or something and was relieved to finally have someone mention something. If after your original comment you then answered I would have found it more humorous. After logging in and reading it I couldn't help but thinking what a waste of my time not to mention "kids" probably rubbed me the wrong way at the time. It's still not hilarious lol but would have sat easier with a legit response included.

Oh and as for the chip on my shoulder comment ... again just rubbing the wrong way trolling over the Internet when someone is just looking for a helping hand.
