Anyway to integrate this feature?

Here is mine

First download and extract circuitsimulator
Then download the text file

Make sure you have Java Runtime Environment installed
run circuit.jar in the folder you extracted from the .rar file
click file and then import in the simulator window
open the text file, press ctrl+a to select all, ctrl+c to copy, then click in the simulator import window and press ctrl+v to paste
click OK and my circuit will be in the sim window.
you can interact with the switches and watch how the circuit works, including the values of all the parts.

I use mine in my 06 F150, at the bus stop waiting on my son to get off bus. Usually before it kicks it self off, I have dosed off, LOL.

It's quite easy...

...only thing I don't know, if the ignition switch is just a switch, or if it grounds its contacts, when switched to OFF position. I hope it doesn't do that. If my memory serves, the door switch is closed (grounded) only when the door is open.

It works the way, that when you turn on the key, it switches on and it remains switched on, until you open the door after you turned off the ignition. Which means, it takes the strain off the ignition switch, when it's on.

now that's in interesting little transistor there,, cant seem to recall seeing them before.

also, you can get door switches that either make contact upon opening or make contact upon closing.
that's why I was keeping it a tad more simplistic to decrease the amount of parts required and such.

Mine would only be good enough for the radio, I wouldn't "add in" the power window circuit into the mix unless driven by a separate diode blocked relay

If my memory serves, ACC position powers only radio, clock and windows (and maybe mirrors), nothing else.

Well I finally got the parts to make this work in my car
I used the link from the first page, our cars activate +12 when the door opens
It took 3 Bosch style relays, 2 diodes and some wire
$12 for 5 relays w/pigtails, $2 for the diodes and the wire I already had
Soldered all the connections and it works awesome

post up your sketch..

do your relays stay latched until you open the door? no time delay at all?

This is the wiring diagram I used
http://www.the12volt.com/relays/relaydiagram31.html
I followed it to a T and it works just as I wanted it to
There is no time delay, only the stereo is wired into the circuit and it stays on until either door is opened
FYI: the door trigger wire is a black/blue stripe located in the driver kick panel
