I haven't found a setting for this yet.. any suggestions? I know I can push the button again to turn the accessories on, but I'd really prefer the audio, etc to stay on until I open the door.

I don't believe you can adjust this. The only way I've found to keep the accessories on while turning off the car is to push the Start/Stop button while the car is in neutral. I don't do it often - only if I'm on a call and want to continue talking using the hands free...

Double check the manual on the phone issue. I didn't yet...but, I'm sure if you are on the phone and turn the engine off...in Park....the phone will stay "alive."

As for the other issue....I don't believe it can be done..but, again, the Owner's Manual is pretty good about explaining most of these issues.

Neutral is the only way I know how to do it. The sequence I use is:

1) Put the car into neutral
2) Press the start/stop button
3) Put the car into park

Remember that the "neutral" thing leaves the accessories on, so you have to press the Start button again (twice) to turn the vehicle off. I may be wrong, but I think it also leaves the actual ignition on, as opposed to putting the car in Accessory mode. It's best to turn the car off, then press Start again to go into Accessory mode.

What the OP is asking about is the "retained power" mode some cars go into when the car is switched off. It leaves power to accessories and power windows until the driver's door is opened. The RDX leaves power to the windows, but not the radio.

One more thing - in many cars with keyless start you can "double-press" the Start button quickly and kill the engine while leaving accessories on. I haven't tried it with the RDX, but it probably works. Here again, though, you have to manually turn it off when you leave the car.
