m6 m6500 -- Any way to NOT have it power on upon usb-c charging cable connection?

On a m6 mr6500, how do you prevent the unit from powering on when I connect the charging cable?  I do not want it to start providing wifi to my devices when I just need to charge it.  It should only power on if I press the power button.

 

Is this possible?

 

Otherwise if I leave it plugged in in the car, I have to turn it off every ignition cycle.  Very annoying.

Not that I know of.

Can we please consider this for a future firmware update?  This is the worse experience I've had with this product.  I want an option to power on/off via button, not cable connection.

 

Every time I charge it its wait for it to bootup and power off with button.  VERY annoying.
