Jeesh... all you electrical engineers are making my brain hurt...
Here's a question for all you smarty pants. Why is it when I shut my truck off ( a 2006 model) the radio instantly shuts right off, but my old mans truck (a 2007 model) will stay on for a short period of time after you shut the truck off (or until you open the door)? What gives? And (on a side note), I also noted his blinkers will operate for 3 or 4 "shines" when you just tap it "left" or "right", and his truck seams to continue to start on its own when you just quickly turn the key forward for a brief second... Can anyone shine some light on the subject for me?
OK, threadjack over...

thats for passing on the highway so you dont have to unclick the the turn signal my moms 97 benz had that feature
its an anti-grind/starter protection so you dont over crank the starter, works basically like an autostarter
all this stuff is computer controlled

Believe it or not 13 year old CD player means it was bought in 1997. CD's came out in 1989 or before. I don't know for sure on the exact year they actually came out, but I do remember my high school Physics book mentioned the "new technology of CDs" (the year I had that class was 1999) and we all made fun of it saying "how old is this book if it refers to CDs as new technology???? So we looked and the books were copyrighted in 1989...thus CD's had to have just come out recently abouts 1989.
Although I did have to decide between a tape player or CD player, or both, as I had a significant collection of each (too young for 8 tracks, although I have seen them and worked them on my own...parents and uncles old tapes and such)...went with CD

In all seriousness though, this is about as good of an explaination I could give, as well.
Here's a question, how come my dad's company vehicles that were Ford's have that radio feature since 2001, my old construction bosses 03 GMC had it as well, but Dodge didn't jump on the band wagon till 2007??? Chrysler is supposed to have the by far best engineers, which is why Benz bought them years ago...
