I am installing a Roady2 XM radio and would like to be able to hook it to a power source that operates like the factory radio where it stays on for a period of time after the key is shut off or until you open the door. Has anyone done this yet?

 

I did this for my auto-dimming rearview mirror. If you check your owner's manual there's a fuse in the passeger side kick panel fuse box for "accessory delay" or something similar. Tapping that circuit will get you the "delayed off" power.

 

What are you using to hard wire the Roadie 2 and are you doing it yourself? I just got the receiver and will hopefully be getting the Stang soon. Let me know how it goes.

 

I am assuming you are referring to the power to the unit. I bought a power outlet from Radio Shack and then wired it into fuse location #6 in the passenger kick panel. Now when I turn the car off, the XM Radio plays like the Shaker and shuts off when I open the door.

 

Where are you going to mount the Roady2? Just curious, because I received a free Roady2 a month ago and haven't decided what I want to do with it, install in the Mustang or just use it at home.

 

How did you wire it into the fuse location? I bought a mini-fuse tap but it is too large to fit into molded opening for the fuse prong.

Does anyone know which color wire to tap into to get the radio power from fuse 6?

 

Sounds like you could help out a bunch of people with a how-to with some pics. Just a sugestion if you're not too busy to do it.

 

Hubby used the wiring from the XM radio to tap into the fuse 6 slot. works great!
