Is it possible to get an alert if you’ve left the car in accessory mode?
So, my 13 month old 12 volt battery went dead and needed jumping. The Honda service diagnosis was ‘vehicle found current draw from after market electronic component detected’ That makes no sense, since I don’t have any after market devices, but the service rep. says maybe just leaving it in accessory mode would be enough. I guess…. It’s possible I left it in accessory mode? It certainly wouldn’t be hard to do so.
What would be really helpful is a text reminder that accessory mode has been selected - comparable to the ‘Your vehicle door is unlocked’ texts that I get. Does anyone know if there is a menu of other alerts?
