Re: Audio Sleep Timer
Guys,
The window time delay relay is NOT a shop item, it has been covered as a DIY Guide HERE

Re: Audio Sleep Timer
Hello Bob,
As Jalal mentions, the relay delay circuit was not offered through the shop, just a friendly offer by me to make these easily for any members without the knowledge or tools to make one for themselves.
As for the stereo, there are two +12V supplies, one direct from the battery and one from the ACC relay. The direct battery connection helps maintain all preset memories and the security function while the ACC connection turns the stereo on/off with the ignition key.
Putting a delay relay in the ACC supply would mean the stereo would not turn off with the key since the delay relay would keep the ACC supply to the stereo on. You would always have to press the stereo button when you jumped out/in the car to turn the stereo off/on. This is why we would need a separate button to trigger the delay feature only when we wanted it to operate.
Hello Mark,
The Redarc Delay Relay is only rated at 10A and is 42mm long.
Our Power Window relay is fed from a 40A circuit breaker and is under 30mm long so the Redarc relay is not really suitable.
Same with the ACC relay in the Xtrail. I suspect the relay would be too long to fit in the relay box such that the cover would not fit and the rating is too low.
EDIT ... actually found out that the stereo does not go through the ACC relay but is supplied directly from the ignition keyswitch.

Re: Audio Sleep Timer
Kev,
That's correct, in some countries this position is reserved for the passenger seat belt warning light. Only in Series I though.

Re: Audio Sleep Timer
Thanks Roger.
Anyone in UK or Singapore/Malaysia/Japan have a similar dash layout and know if there is a switch for this position ?

Re: Audio Sleep Timer
Kev,
As I said in my reply, this slot does not have a switch mechanism, rather an indicator light only for the passenger seat belt. I don't think you can find a switch for that slot.
There is one option to achieve that. If you find a spare demister switch, you can modify it a bit and trim one of its corner to fit in that slot and use it as your radio switch.

Re: Audio Sleep Timer
I thought about that and will test fit the existing switch to see how much has to be trimmed.
