Most vehicles have a partial-on function that provides power to the radio and other systems, but not to the engine. From what I can tell, the LR4 does not. Am I right there? The only "on but not running" position seems to draw on the battery a lot, and the indicator lamps seem to show that it is providing power to all systems.
So there is no true "accessory" position?

I had seen that,@ryanjl . That's partly what triggered my post. When I do what you describe in there, everything seems to be on: CEL is on, battery charge warning light is on, everything is lit up just like it's in the position right before the starter is hit.

I think you are correct. I don’t use accessory mode for long periods, but just tried it today, and it seems to leave the whole car powered up.

If you want to just run the radio press the power button on it, and everything else stays off.
Runs a long time.

I’m not near the LR right now, but if this works...thank you! Seems obvious once you know it.
Verified this works. Sort of...the computer seems really sluggish to respond, so if you press and hold the stereo on button for awhile you have to be pretty patient and let it respond. If you keep trying, you end up with that same kind of feeling you get when there's a delay on the Zoom call and two people keep stepping all over each other and saying "Go ahead." "No, YOU go ahead."
