Delayed power for HU?

saprun · #1 02-25-2008, 03:11 PM

I was wondering if there was a way to get delayed power to the stock HU, or any HU for that matter? I just traded in my 00 Ranger that gave delayed power to the windows but not the stereo. F-150 seems to be the same deal.

If I am understanding correctly you would like the radio to stay on when the key is turned to OFF and none of the doors have opened is that correct? If I remember right you can use the switched power from the door windows.

Yes, that is correct. I would like the radio to stay on after killing the engine and untill I open the door. Seems like it should have been that way from the factory. This is the 21st century after all. My Pontiac gives me 10min of delay and I think it's an awsome feature. Guess Ford thinks it's truck buyers don't wana chill in their truck for a min before leaving?

lol no, but he was complaining that Ford was not smart enough to put it in, when in reality they have. they just waited longer than everyone else
