This afternoon I tried to get my radio to play with the engine off...it didn't work no matter which position the key was in...so I tried all kinds of combos of pressing the radio button while the key was in different positions and something I did made is so that I can now turn the radio on without the key even in the ignition. I have no idea what I did to enable this and no idea what to do to disable it. Any ideas?

The volume **** doubles as a power button. Push it to turn it on.
If they key is not in the ignition, it will play for about a half hour before turning off (in case it was accidentally left on unattended) - you can press the power button again and it will resume.

I could swear that I tried to push the radio button on while the key was out, but nothing happened. That's why I was wondering if you had to "enable" the feature.

you did nothing wrong. thats the way it works. take the key out . then just press the power button and the radio will play, but, for only 30 min, and then will turn off auotmatically.
