I recently purchased a sirius radio (Go Stern) and I noticed that in my wifes 01' ford escape I am able to shut the truck off, pull out the key, but still be able to turn on the unit. Now in my 92' camery I don't have a power outlet so I use the cigarette lighter, but when I turn the car off I am not able to power on the unit, is there anyway I could get the cigarette lighter to give constant power? The reason I want to do this is so that at work I can leave the radio on in the car and receive the signal in the office!

Thanks

Rather than hack your car's wiring you can add a cigarette lighter socket and wire it directly to the car's battery. Radio shack carries a few. As for getting the signal in the office, I would test it out before going any further. Why not purchase a home kit for your radio?

Yeah I have the home kit on order, but rather then bring it back and forth from work and home.... And I tested the radio at work and Howard comes in loud and clear!

Thanks

There's always something "hot" on the car you can wire from. For example, most people hardwire their radar detectors from a dome light. This is one item that has juice all of the time.
Making the cig lighter always hot is very simple, but then again, I have been MECP for many years. Find someone that knows what they are doing that can set up what you need without cutting wires, and hack stuff like that.
