On the push button-equipped GKs, is there a way to transition from engine running to engine off, accessory on other than pushing the button once to switch off the engine and then a second time (without foot on brake) to activate accessory power?

 

we went over this a few months back, short answer is no.

 

Leave it in any gear but Park when you turn the engine off...

Brings back fond memories of the "search noob!" Honda-Tech glory days....

 

you have a point. i am basing my answer on the fact that i have a 6mt, not a wussy autotragic...

lol, don't get all George Knighton on me...

 

Unfortunately, the OP didn't indicate which transmission they have…

On mine, I just turn the car off (one push) and press the start button w/o foot on brake within a second or two. The bluetooth on my phone never loses the connection, so it starts (ie continues) playing music right away. Shutting off the car while not in park is a much more "elegant" solution than my double press.
