I was about to post this same thing only I have a 5AT. Worked for me same way.

I tried mine and it also works, two quick taps of the start/stop button and the car shuts off, and radio stays on with out interuption.

A great big Thank You for finding out about this.

But really, that's not a useful function at all, because if you have a chance to listen to the music in the car while driving, why would you want to stop the car at all? Just keep driving round the block until that song is finished!

The one I test drove last week worked like that.

What I wish would happen is what my last two cars did...... when you turn off the car the radio and windows still work.... until you open the door. Both were Pontiacs.

That's how my Monte Carlo worked as well. But...I think I'll keep my G35 anyway!
