How do I keep the stereo playing at the drive-in theater without running the engine? We no longer have the window speakers at our drive-in.

You can keep pressing the power button on the infotainment unit every time it shuts off, or cycle the key in an out of aux, that's about it.

Forgot to mention, I have the 2024 Lariat. Only have the push button ignition. No key ignition.

The best thing to do is just bring a separate FM radio.
This is the way. No need to worry about your battery being dead at the end of the night.

Double press the on button without pressing the brake, I think gives extended accessory. In lariat.

Drive-in theater! Wow. Brings back old memories. "Lets all go the lobby." Food and Steam up Windows.

I was going to say there is always a simple way to keep the radio on.

I don't have Lariat. But if double-tap does not work, press and hold WITHOUT foot on brake.

People with keys, can turn the key part way. But Lariat has a way too.

Do you mean...Concession stand?
I don't know it has been 50+ years, since I have been to a drive-in movie. Do they have lobbies now.
