Just a simple spst 12v relay that can handle the radio current which is pretty low (I'd go with a 3 or 10amp unit).
If you want the "retained power" feature it's a bit more work, get a dpdt relay and use the second set of contacts to continue to supply the rely with current, You'll need a couple diodes too. Well, here's the circuit:
______________ no connection / +12v bat ______________ / ______________ to radio power ______________ no connection / __________________ / | ______________ to door light switch | | |_____|\|____ 2 - 50 volt (or more) 1 amp (or more) diodes |/| | | acc ______|\|____|_____ power |/| ) || The relay will turn on when the key is 12 v ) || turned to the ACC or ON position and ) || remain on until the car door is opened coil ) || ) || ground _____________) ||From: Gary Marten
