Keeping the radio on without having the car on?

[Kens GLS]

Is it possible?I have a ZR2 blazer and when I shut off the truck and take the keys out the radio still plays until I open the door.I really like that option and was wondering if somehow this can be done,or is it a waste of time.

wire it to power from the same circuit as the interior lights, but that means you have to leave the lights on all the time

It's just done with relays - SPB can probably tell you the easiest way to wire it up, right now this late in the Monday workday - I'm incapable of thinking.

BTW, this is something I've always thought would be nice to have, and one of the few features I admire GM for having.

I agree,I also like that the headlights turn on & off by themself,theres a little sensor on the dash that takes care of that.

There are a lot of aftermarket kits you can get for automatic lights if that's something you want. I personally installed one of them before (on a mid 90's Ford Ranger). Just a box you connect some wires to, and stick a sensor to detect the light outsied.

auto lights have been popular with ford since the newer generation suvs and trucks have come out. i really like those and would love something like that for my elantra, so i can just keep it on auto and not worry about it later (and the lights stay on for 2mins after the key is out of the ignition for walking at night). thats only thing i like about my dad's explorer
