Is there a setting to completely shut down when you turn the engine off?

So, we aren't supposed to climb out of the open roof? Hmm...
Has anyone had a Ford before? Had a 2005 Mustang, 2012 mustang, 2015 Gt, 2018 f-150, radio shuts off immediately when you open the door. My big bend does it also! Come on man.

So I guess the answer is: take the doors off...or at least unplug them

I don't think anything can be done here on the vehicle settings, you'll have to change your habits. I'm not sure what I did to get over this myself but heck my last vehicle was 10 years older and it did the same thing so this isn't exactly new behavior.
Yeah my Lincoln is 15 years old and does this

Thanks! Didn't mean to offend anyone. Sucks to be old school I guess!
I wouldn't worry about it. You will get used to it over time and you needn't worry about the radio staying on and draining your battery.

I don't like that the radio and other features continue to operate when you turn off the engine...Is there a setting to turn this off? I want everything to turn off when I hit stop. I could not find anything in the Settings menu.
Yup, I'm coming from a 1986 F250 and this drives me crazy.

...we're reviving 4.5 year old threads now? To discuss something that anyone who has ridden in a newer vehicle should know? My '98 GMC Jimmy did this...

And if we don't do this, what would we be talking about? Ducks and waves?
