Most newer vehicles will have this feature. Media will play for so many minutes or until the driver side door opens I believe.

Completely normal. If you don't open a door, it will continue to play for 10 or 15 minutes (not sure of the exact time) and will then shut off.

It's called RAP. Look it up in the owner's manual. Page 9-22


Retained Accessory Power (RAP)

These vehicle accessories can be used for up to 10 minutes after the engine is turned off:
. Audio System
. Power Windows
These features continue to work up to 10 minutes after the engine is turned off or until either door is opened. If a door is opened, the power windows and audio system will shut off.

No, that is not normal. Take your Corvette back to the dealership and ask for a new one....preferably a Z06.

As said, normal. Found out a couple days ago it will continue to play if only the passenger door is opened. Opening the driver's door shuts it off.

Kia and Hyundai don't do this. Well when you turn the engine off the radio turns off but you can still lower and raise the windows and if equipped the sunroof.

My wife owns a Kia and another friend owns a Sonata.

Hey there,

I see that you have had plenty of help answering this, but I just wanted to take a moment and chime in with the crowd. This is normal on your vehicle, so you have nothing to worry about. Let us know if you have any further questions. Have a great day!

There's that pesky Owners Manual again. Just amazing what you can learn reading it. Of course, it is also pretty amazing how many thing you can't learn by reading it. - like the proper amount of oil to use on a Z51 (it's not the 10.3 quarts listed in the manual, it's 9.8).
