My wife asked me the same question on the other day as she is the daily driver of our CX-5. I checked the owner's manual trying to find this "accessary" function in traditional ignition key position and it doesn't say anything. I told her your method just now and she said she's already figured out. But she said how do you turn the radio off after that? I know you should be able to turn the radio off by pushing the Start/Stop button (may be more than once?) without the foot on the brake but she said she did it by "restarting" and stopping the engine since her foot is always on the brake during the process! (whistle)
This topic should be moved to "CX-5 How To" sub-forum.
Without your foot on the brake
What I do is put the trans in neutral, put the parking brake on, shut the car off and it leaves the radio on.
I worry about shifting the trans while the car is off, so I don't. I do this in parking lots when I'm on a call with the Bluetooth on or waiting for someone in the store.
