For many years in the past, one could turn off the engine and put the car in "accessory" mode with no problem unless you did it for hours.
Now, when I want to listen to Sirius even for a few minutes, a message pops up saying "caution, battery being drained".....or some such thing as that.
Why would this drain the battery for even a short time when cars, it seems like forever, never had a problem?
I ask because I am going to do my navigation upgrade which says I need to have the car running (engine on) for a full 60 minutes. That's quite an expensive proprosition in gas, not to mention having to be out there with the car.
My husband insists that I could do the upgrade for 60 mins without a problem. What's your experience in this?
Many thanks
