Question Stereo off, after door opened

The stereo goes off after you pull out the key, what I want to know is that anyone know how to wire it, so it goes off until you open a door, or after a few seconds after door is opened , I saw an article once, but I don't remember where . I think it involved using relays, and stuff

gm has that feature on a lot of cars. you turn the car off and stay inside with the doors closed and the radio stays on. it stays on until the doors are opened.

let me think...

ok this would require 3 relays and 2 diodes (diodes because then if not power would feed back through the accessory circuit and turn other things on)

hows that?

basically, you take the red wire coming off your wire harness, put the side going to the car where it says accessory, and put the side going to the radio where it says radio accessory. the door wire you can get from a few places, one being from teh button looking thingie on the inside of the door sill that tells the car if the door is open or not. the fused 12v+ wire is obviously a fused 12v wire which you could even steal from teh yellow wire coming off the wire harness.

Hey thanks, I'll try to do it, It's pretty clear, I just need to buy the relays and diodes.
Is not that I'm lazy (well I am) but it is usefull, when you are in the car and someone uses the keys for something else, etc..
