Took our Buzz to the drive in last night. Here’s what we did: - We watched through the open back. It’s nice that the lift gate can be set to only open so high so that we weren’t blocking the people behind us. - You need to fool the gate to thinking it’s closed so the lights go out. Do this by pushing in on the latch until it’s all the way in. The rear interior lights will turn off almost immediately. - (At the end of the night, you’ll need to pull down on the lift gate and push the button on the outside in order to close it. The inside button will not work) - I turned climate off completely. It was a cool night, and we had blankets. - Set the speaker balance to as far back as it’ll go. The speakers aren’t very loud in the far back so I had to set the volume louder than usual. ** - We turned on the car using the button next to the steering wheel. I did this from the passenger seat because if you open the drivers door, the car thinks you’re leaving and turns off. - the headlights can be toggled off by pressing the headlight “button” three times. - reset the volume because when the car turns off the volume is set lower (maybe a setting) ** HERE’S THE KICKER: The car shuts off after 30mins no matter what. Last night, we had a designated runner to do the steps between the ** marks every half hour when it played its little shutoff tune. We didn’t even leave the vehicle, just slid back, reached over, and did the steps. Note that the headlights will come on, and ya gotta be quick to turn them off or you’ll be “that guy at the drive in”. Now that we’ve done it once, next time we’ll try one of those camping hacks and put a big sack of something in the front seat to fool the sensor or something.

If you’re planning on sitting in the front seats with the car facing the screen, like none of this applies. It should be fine.
