Hehe...you guys are right. I do have an alarm, and yes, I thought about setting the stereo to turn off once I arm the alarm, but I decided that I'd rather have it turn off when the door closes.
 Tomorrow in calculus I can hopefully work something up, since I don't learn anything in there anyway and I'm just there to get my homework.

just a thought.. if you manage to set this up so your car radio turns off when you get out and shut the door... what happens when you get into the car, your radio turns on, you start the car and shut the door... and your radio turns off....think that would kinda suck.. but you know more about electric stuff than I do coomer so you prolly have a way to address this issue

When the ignition or accessory power would be on, the radio would stay on, regardless of whether or not the door is opened or closed.

probably already considered but to make it real easy...your headlights will cut when the door is opened...just connect into that relay and you should be fine

that would simply make it cut off when he opened the door. He wants it to cut off when he closes his door. cormudgen |

Hey Coomer just thought of something. You could wire into the ignition ring light I know it comes on when you open the doors and goes of a couple seconds after you shut them but I can't remember if it stays on the whole time the door is open. I guess that's the best I can come up with. Hope it helps.

Coomer - I know how to do it - IM me on AOL and we'll discuss - you have to change one wire on the radio and it " " should work.

Well I just checked about the ignition key ring. it'd work just like the dome light only you'd have a 2 second delay before it went off. the door would also have to be opened before the car was shut off or else it would turn the head unit off. that's the easiest way to do it but probably not what you're looking for.
