    Pressing the start button twice (once for ACC, twice for 'ON') will stop the door chimes for one hour. Then the car switches itself off. To reset just push the start button twice.
    but then the car is on? so other things are running?

      Not sure about the 150 but in older cars this is a bad practice as all the engine computers, fuel pump, ignition systems etc are running.

Not sure I could live with the guaranteed hassle I would cop for days if I chose the deliberate stall method :-)
        I have found that if you press the start/stop button twice very fast when you are turning the car off it cuts the engine but the radio/accessories remain on. I don't think this is a built-in feature, I'm guessing that if you press the button fast enough the radio just doesn't turn off before it gets power again.

          The door chime is also a pain when you have to get out of the vehicle to unlock and open gates, as if it is not bad enough that you have to get out of the vehicle and leave it unmanned, the bloody thing advertises the fact. This is nothing compared with the surprise Toyota has in store for you when you shift your foot quickly from the accelerator to the brake. Some brain on drugs has decided that having to suddenly slow the vehicle equals needing a crash stop and that is what it does. Something called 'Brake Force Assist'. Remember this when overtaking on the freeway, a car pops out from the left lane and you quickly need to lose 10kmh, you may invoke emergency braking and all but get thown through the windscreen. If you are lucky you will get a fright without being rear ended.

            It is the most dangerous thing on the planet. I've almost died multiple times because of it already. Ok, that is somewhat of an exaggeration but seriously, what muppet decided it would be a good idea for the car to brake for you.

            If its an emergency, I guarantee I'll be all over the brakes as hard as I can, that's what ABS is for...

              While I have a 120, the easiest way is to have those items I want to use connected to the second battery.
