Shutting Down Electronics....

Hi All. I took delivery of my 3.0 Sport/Tech+ Saph on Black yesterday, and I have a question for the group.

In other cars that I've had, when you shut the engine, the electronics usually stay "on" (like the radio continuing to play) until you open your door, then everything shuts down.

In the new X, when you press the STOP button, the engine shuts down, but the idrive stuff stays on until.....

1) I "lock" the car using the remote or the comfort access.
2) I press the STOP button a second time.

In other words, if I just do one STOP, the radio is still playing after I close the door and does not go off until I do one of the above. I assume that there is still the 10 minute battery saver, but I haven't waited that long yet.

What do all of you do when you exit your vehicle? Is there a preferred method? The manual does not seem to mention this - or, I at least have not found it yet......

Thanx,
Pat
