Keep Netflix or games running after driver not in car?
Netflix or games will stop when I (driver) leave my car. It doesn't matter if I leave my phone or key card in car.
Is there a way to keep the entertainment going for the passengers?

Camp Mode
Ah thank you!
Also teach passengers to go into camp mode on their own. If they are frequent passengers, above a certain age, and have phones, give them access.
This is what we have done. It is so convenient for the teenage kids to be able to go to the car themselves and wait there while I finish an errand, or put something in the car for me an come back while at the shops, without having to think about who’s got the key.
Camp mode is the way to go. Dog mode will turn the screen into an info screen for passersby to give them info about the temperature inside the vehicle, to stop them from smashing windows to «rescue» the animal. Not entirely certain what «Keep» does, but I usually just go for camp mode.
I believe “Keep” means “keep the climate as I’ve set it even though I’m out of the car” (where it would normally turn it off for you).
That makes sense.
The different modes have to do with climate and security settings. Dog mode will keep the alarms on, so if someone inside tries to open the door with Dog Mode the alarm will go off. Camp Mode disables the alarms so people can get in and out without worry. Keep mode keeps your climate settings running as configured with all alarms on and no message on screen.
Tap on the screen after the door shuts and it will wake back up and resume.
Problem is that games will be interrupted. A great feature to add may be to use the cabin camera and keep everything on if humans are detected.
Always learning!
As you get out of the car, step on the brake pedal one more time. That will keep the car on for 20 minutes or so.
Hmm will try that next time. Thanks.
Have your passenger tap on screen. It’ll stay on.
My 2019 model 3 keeps running when I leave with my phone and the kids in my car, but I guess my kids jump in my seat
Passenger can also press down/slap/tap on drivers seat to re-awaken screen.
Is the media player for Netflix YouTube Hulu etc powered by a 12volt or the high power battery pack?
Any damage to a 12v if the media player is ran for say 6 hrs straight?
