I got a catalog in the mail from Painless wiring the other day & thought this was neat:

Description:
Bring your vehicle into the 21st century with this new convenience module. The Module's features include: A dome lightdelay that gradually dims the dome light after the door is closed. A headlight delay which leaves the headlights on for 15 seconds after the engine is shut off. A radio delay which leaves the radio (or other accessory) on for 10 minutes after the ignition is turned off. This feature will also turn off the Radio (or accessory) when a door has been opened. An alarmn will sound if the turn signals have been on for longer than 2 1/2 minutes or if the headlight switch has been left on after the key has been removed. The Painless Convenience Module features state-of-the-art electronics and a simple straight forward installation.

I didn't like the price though. $332.95 from Summitt.

Still pretty cool. At the price a lot of this stuff is going for these days, I still like my idea of taking a newer used car and swapping internals to have all of these features.

That is really cool but i am with you on the price.

couldn't you do some of the stuff with some simple circuitry and relays?

Dakota Digital has had this type of setup for a few years now. Better price too!

Probably could. Some simple 555 timer circuits & relays.

I remember a few years ago there was a 55-57 Chevy that the guy took pretty much all of the electronics, drivetrain, suspension, & interior from a ZR1 vette.

So I wonder what it would take to use an existing BCM computer from a wrecked car to control the delayed electronics without using all body electronics.

We've got another thread going on a harness replacement system that has that and most of the other new car capabilities built in.
