    Default Is there an Acc mode to play radio when 2020+ Models are shut down?

    I was wondering if there is an accessory mode to keep playing radio after shutting Spyder down. On the 2011 you held the mode switch down after shutting Spyder off. Then radio would play. Was not able to find any info in manual. Bruce

    I don't think there is a way to do is. If someone has figured it out it will make a few people happy. It will also make a few sad due to the rundown batteries.

    Keeping the radio on was done away with the new electronic dash starting in 2018.

    I use my smartphone as it has really good sound. Don’t need to be draining the Spyder battery.
