Hey all, this is my first post ever. I've spent a fair amount of time with 2 different XJ's- fixing electrical gremlins, suspension upgrades, and general maintenance.
I installed a new stereo and I really want to have R.A.P. I don't need it connected with the driver door or anything- just want to be able to turn off the engine and leave it on acc.power without by Bluetooth falling out during the switch. Currently it disc/recon during the switchover and i lose my music/podcast for the next 30-40 secs while my radio turns off/on and then seeks to reconnect. I know it's a rich/white guy problem but this is important enough to me to warrant a post. On my first XJ I hotwired the unused fog light switch to toggle radio on/off and it worked great. The problem was that I had to remember to always turn it off or my amp would run my battery down. Just trying to improve on my last solution. I've searched hard and have found nothing that helps. Any thoughts are appreciated.
