    So, it appears there is no "accessory switch" (typically number 2 position on the ignition switch on most cars) on a 360....

    If I decide to listen to my stereo while I'm parked (I have an aftermarket set up with power amps, upgraded head unit and subwoofers) does anyone know how long I can listen tomusic before the battery doesnt have enough juice to restart the car?

    On my BMW M6, I did a test, if I use position 3/III or ignition switch while listening to my stereo (instead of position 2 accessory mode) since all the electronics are turned on - battery is dead in about 2 - 3 hours.

    Does anyone know for a 360?

    Thanks in advance.

    Cool! Thanks Kevin!

    I was ready to buy one until I just remembered previous owner removed the cig lighter and replaced it with Carbonio CF cup holder.

    My plan is to install a USB jack using the same power wires somewhere in the center console instead to charge my cell phones. Just havent had time yet as I spend so much of my time now just enjoying driving the car.

    Dan- The battery will last about the same as if you had an accessory position. You can have someone hotwire the radio for you, but then you have to remember to turn it off after every drive. Many of the cars from the 50s and 60s were set up that way.
