DOes the RSE and electronics automatically shut off

was waiting outside my kids school watching a DVD after 15 minutes or so , everything shut off in the car. Is there some auto shut down setting for electronics when motor is not running ? BTW, Key was not in the car..

Yes,

It shuts off after you remove the key... This is a good thing... Think battery saving.

With no key in, you can turn the Comand on again for music and also turn on the rear DVDs. I haven’t timed it but things will turn off in maybe 10 to 20 minutes. Just hitting the "on" button will start the cycle again.

Nope, the RSE system will keep playing and display video even after the key is removed but it will turn off automatically. My kids got in trouble the first couple of times they left it on but they quickly let me know it turned off automatically.

RSE stops by itself after about 15 or 20 minutes. You don't have to take the key out and it keeps playing for a while...

This is a great feature if you need the pause that refreshes when the kids have not had anything to drink...you can leave them in the car watching Barney while you squirt then get some more tall boys or pretzels or diesel or whatever...

Usually we can stop for a bathroom break and the kids don't have to get out of the car.
