Auxiliary radio power..

Short story.. I took the kids to the drive in this past weekend and in any other vehicle I have I can turn the key one click and listen the radio. We took the C300 this time and I could not figure out for the life of me how to keep the radio on for more than 10 minutes without it automatically shutting off. Is there a way to keep the radio going without having the car running?
I looked in the manuals and could not find anything.
Thanks in advance,
Scott

No, it automatically shuts off all the electronics in the car after set time. you have to re set the key to turn it back on.

It automatically shuts off for a reason by the way. It's to save the battery and prevent it from dying so you can still start your car.

Seems stupid to me. You can literally play the radio for hours without the battery dying in my other vehicles.
