So the "status change" would be ignition power=off and the other change would be ignition power=on(?) Therefore IGN=off is no power (thus avoiding unexpected battery drain) and IGN=on means uninterupted power during car idling as well as during starter engaugement. That's my goal; keep full stereo power while starting the car.
That link to the relay http://www.brigarelectronics.com/Mer...ategory_Code=R states 24VDC. Will that work in a car and is anybody else willing to determine splices for the radio for both the starter issue and the door switch for that Oldfolksmobile?

That is just a sample of what it looks like. ( the first pic i found ) but there is 12v ones.
Status change could be a rise or drop in voltage, say 4v constant and jump tp 12v. or the other way. A normal relay will work with a on/off wire. The bigist problem in a car is finding the wire that you want that is onlt affected by the driver. As noted above ... the dome loght works off all 5 doors. (hatch counts as 1 ) so any time it is opened it will shut off.
Aaa HAA IVE GOT IT!!!!! I just figured it out but it will take a bit of time..... ( the 2 wire version )

Wire your normal relay switch wire to the battery but through this after it is put in the driver door. The wire will simply loop from one contact back out the other. So when the drivers door is opened the contact is broken. Turning off the radio. as long as the drivers door is closed the radio will play!!!
