(1) As long as the parking brake is set before the ignition is turned on, the DRLs will not illuminate.I was at a drive in theater trying to turn off my headlights while having the radio on, but as many of you probably know when the car is in accessory mode it switches to the DRL (daytime lights) rather than turning off completely. On google I found a way around this by activating the parking brake before turning the engine off, but for some strange reason after the movie was over the engine wouldn't start and I needed to get a jump. Car hasn't had issues starting since then (about 2 months ago) but it would be nice to know how to turn off the headlights at night without this happening. Also I'm not sure why/how those two issues are related.
(2) The DRLs don't illuminate in accessory mode, which is the mode you should be in if you only want the radio on by itself. (One push of the start button without your foot on the brake on models with pushbutton start or ACCESSORY position I on models with a key.)
(3) The Ridgeline's Truck Bed Audio will play for up to 11 hours, though its battery is a bit larger (48/620 amp vs 51R/500 amp).
