I install alarms and remote starters for a living... relays have a purpose.... they will prevent to much amprage draw.... other wish you will burn up switches and all kind of stuff... just for an example... say you add a set of fog lamps... they pull so much power that with out a relay they burn up the power switch.... here is the easy solution to your problem... I have not done this yet but I will just for you guys this weekend... (i need too for my XBOX) chase back the power wire on your invertor. once you find it the rest is simple... cut the wire in half... the side that is hooked to the invertor run to a constant power wire. If you are unsure where one is check this website out. http://www.bulldogsecurity.com they have it listed in the wiring diagram section. just make sure you fuse it. i dont care if it already fused. fuse it again. as close as you can to were you make your connection. a fuse cost like 5 cents.... better than burning **** up.....

Yeah, we don't have a way to have that delay so the radio stays on till you open the door. Check Joatmon's thread for making the 12v outlets on all the time.Please don't follow the suggestion by Fay, reasons for this are in joatmon's thread. It would cause your battery to die constantly..

hey, disagreeing with someone is fine, but we don't need to be calling anyone names. just make your points and leave it up to people to make their own decision. then they cannot blame you if they mess things up.
