Wow, you actually have a working drive-in theater! Cool! As for the radio, you need to have the car in accessory mode. Just push the start button, but without your foot on the brake (automatic) or clutch (manual). If the headlights come on, you'll just need to manually turn them off. Keep in mind there may still be a time limit, but it should be longer than the 10 minutes when everything is off. I've never had mine in accessory mode long enough for a movie, so I don't know if the time limit is long enough. If it does time out, you just need to hit the start button again to go back into accessory mode. Hope this helps!
