“Dog mode” and how to keep 2026 i4 running with passenger, remove auto shut off.

Hello!

Is there a way to

  1. Use dog mode in the i4 or similar setting that keeps the temperature controlled?
  2. If I have a passenger in my car, my car still shuts off when I (driver) gets out. Sometimes I leave someone in the car and want the climate to remain. Is this possible? Without having close the door, and then have the passenger turn it back on each time manually. My Tesla stayed on with someone in the car just by tapping the screen if I left key or phone in it. Everytime the doors open in the i4 the climate control stops, and the car shuts off.
  3. How to do I access favorites in the i4? I find this OS to be entirely too many screens and processes to do anything tbh. It’s so overdone and annoying. Comparing it to the amazing Tesla OS. Not here to pick a fight, love the car, that’s why I didn’t bet another Tesla. But I’m really having a major learning curve, and I’m not an old person, and I have worked in tech 20y.

Thanks!
