Can the Civic play music without starting the engine?

[Patricia]

The Civic can play music without starting the engine. As long as the car is powered on, which means turning the key to the ACC position (press once for models with one-button start), you can use the electrical appliances in the car. Duration of listening to music without starting the engine: Listening to music without starting the engine can significantly damage the battery and easily lead to battery depletion. Under normal circumstances, you can listen for up to about 4 hours. Impact on the battery: If you listen to music for a long time without starting the engine, the battery can easily be ruined. This is because the battery continues to discharge without the generator supplying power. Excessive power consumption will cause the battery to over-discharge, affecting its lifespan.
