    The shutdown when parked should not happen so swiftly, should be in the region of 10 minutes before the dashboard message comes up with a 1 minute warning. Do you know if your car is still on the original 2012 battery? In today's modern cars, with all of the background electronics humming away, automotive batteries are only good for a little over 5 years in the car before a change is optimum.
    Welcome and enjoy NMS.
