Is there a way to switch to accessory mode on the Insight's push-button ignition without having to power down first?
This CivicX forum (for cars with push-button start with traditional gear shift lever) mentions that pushing the shift lever release button before power button will switch from RUN to ACCESSORY... but the Insight has push-button gear selector & no shift lever release. The post also suggests switching to Neutral before powering down as an alternative, but I honestly haven't attempted yet.
I'm deterred from trying based on the attached page for the Insight, which implies that getting to ACCESSORY mode is "one-directional" from when the car is off... BUT on on older/traditional keyed ignitions, before powering the car down from “3 / RUN”, you could switch to “2 / ON” (all electronics) or “1 / ACCESSORY” (some electronics) before totally turning the car off at “0 / LOCK" - and I'd like to replicate this.
Does anyone have experience with these steps working on newer push-button Civics or Accords, or know of better/different way to get to ACCESSORY mode on the Insight without powering down?
