Default Need help at the drive in!!!

Hey guys, I have 2013 FX4 Ecoboost and I'm at a drive in movie theater as I type this. This is the first time I've been to a drive in (not that common in Baltimore) and I have to keep the radio on for the movie sound. Well I got out of the truck and shut the door, opened the windows and was enjoying the movie when about 20-30 minutes went by and my radio shut off and gave me the "power saver mode" warning and told me to shut off the radio or start the engine. Since I need the radio but don't want to continuously start the engine with people all around me, is there any way to keep the radio on while not having it warn me about power saver mode every 30 mins? Sorry, my manual is at home because I was reading it, otherwise I'd be looking this up myself. Thanks for any help!!!!

I haven been to the drive-in several times and have not experienced that. I usually start my truck between movies to re charge the battery. I have a 2013.

Last time I went to a drive in, they had a hard wired speaker you hung over your window.

What are they using now, a Bluetooth/wifi connection?

I usually watch the movie from the bed of the truck and use the movie speaker (which sucks), or use a portable stereo with battery power. My exhaust system is too loud to keep starting, and I don't trust the truck battery for a double or triple feature.

Sounds like I should've brought a portable stereo, appreciate all the info guys. Have to be a little more prepared next time, but as for now I'll have to just keep starting the truck every so often.
