CD while car is off

[caveman017]

In my Dad's Audi A4, you can use the CD player when the key isnt even in, just push the power button on the CD deck.. is this possible with a camry?

[leasaunce]

yes why not.....but im not sure how though.

I dont know exactly how you do it, but I believe you need an extra battery

Run a wire from the constant +12 on teh back of the stereo to a on-off switch and then to the ACC on the back of the stereo. Turn the switch on and it will turn the stereo on.


On second thought, that's probably not a good idea. All the other stuff hooked up to ACC may turn on also because power on the ACC line tells it to turn on. Ie the clock will light up and the cig lighter also.

Well you can tap the ACC line on the back of the headunit to the 12V constant on the back of the headunit if you really wanted to do it. But the CD player won't turn off by itself when you turn the car off.

With a lincoln i have driven in the radio stays on untill you open the doors,then turns off once they are opend. I am not shure how you would do it put you might want to find out how to do it that way?

I thought as long as your key is in acc position, you can turn on the cd player?
at least that happens in my 05'
the clock is on too but too bad power windows doesn't work =(

^ He wants the stereo to work with the key removed.
