Default MyGig RER Time out / Power off - No doors

Is there any way to adjust how long the radio stays on after you pull the key and walk away?
I had an RBZ in my X and it stayed on for about 30 seconds. I traded in for a Rubicon that has the RER (patched to current) and it stays on for at least 3 minutes after you pull the key out.
Is there a setting in it somewhere that would allow me to adjust it to a shorter time?

Thanks

x2 I'd like to know this as well. I can hit the power button on my way out of the Jeep, but just as a convenience it would be nice not to have to worry about it when the doors are off.

Glad to know someone else is having the "problem". My buddies RER stays on for a minute or less. That tells me something can be adjusted somewhere.

well it's just annoying to be enjoying the music with the doors off, and then stop somewhere, and forget to turn the radio off as you're getting out because you don't normally have to...and then feel like an idiot cause your radio is still going while your engine is off and you're half-way outta the Jeep....

Right and I will do that but when you take 2 jeeps that have the same stereo and the timeouts are different there must be a way to change it. I want to know how.

I have a 2011, and I can adjust how long the interior has power via the user options. I use the menu button on the steering wheel (NOT the one on the radio) and go to user options and change the length of time. (I am not in the jeep so I may be using the wrong terms) But that's how I did it.
