: Make your stereo stay on until door opened

Ever notice in some newer cars the stereo stays on until you open the doors? Want to make your Elky do the same? Here's how:


This is actually pretty simple. Two five pin Bosch style relays, a few wiring connections and you're there.
The relay on the left actually latches the accessory lead on, after the ignition is turned off, until the negative door trigger breaks the ground to the relay through the relay on the right.
