So for the second time I tried to take my Platinum (with push button start) to a Drive In Theater. I must say, this is not the most user friendly option for using in this environment. The first time I took it, the power would shut off to the accessory after like 20 minutes. Everytime you have to push the button and every light in the truck turns on, making you look like some type of an idiot during the movie. Once or twice during the movie is one thing, but every 20 minutes . OK, done some ForScan mods and got this up to 120 minutes iirc. Second time I went, there still isn't a way to turn the gauge display and other lighting off when in full accessory mode. Is it so hard to add an option to only power the stereo up when in accessory mode? Am I missing something????

 

Turn the headlights to off (not auto). Turn the interior lights off using the center button in the overhead console. Turn the dash light dimming all the way down when you arrive.

 

Keep the truck off, and just press the power button on the radio. You don't need the truck in accessory mode to listen to the radio. I know what you mean about the 20 minutes thing, was listening to Amazon Prime and every time it shut off I had to restart the stream too.

 

FORScan:

• Dark Mode (BCM 726-32-01)
• Stereo Extended Play (APIM 7D0-01-01)

 

You have a drive in theater? Cool!

 

This guy gets it...

 

Believe it or not, a few still exist. A few still left in TN (middle).

OP, what city are you in?

 

Of all places, we still have a multi-screen, digital projection, drive-in here in Las Vegas. Something for everyone, I guess.

I have one within an hour and a half drive. Rarely go but it's cool...

There’s one here in Memphis.
