How can I tap into the power wire/fuse that shuts the radio off after you open the door?

I would like to have my police scanner, Garmin GPS, and XM radio shut off when I open the door just like the radio.

TIA,

Tim K.

 

would help if you gave us the year

 

Yeah, that would help. Its a 2005.

 

im not sure about this..
but I think this is related to the computer...
it gets a signal that door is opened.. and it shuts power off to those accesories.

 

Bummer. . . It drives me crazy to manually turn off/on my sirius radio and it drives me crazy when I turn my car off and the sirius radio turns off while the AM/FM stays on playing static.

 

It may be BCM controlled. in that case you will have to install a relay that will be activated on the open of the door switch.

 

In the driver kick panel, there is a harness that goes into the drivers door boot. cut it open and you'l find a yellow wire. It will test as R.A.P.(Retained Accessory Power)

This is the wire you are looking for

 

Thanks!!!

just curious if the yellow wire in the door boot worked for you???

 

I honestly don't remember what I did. That was quite some time ago.
