Abstract
A method of generating a vehicle accessory voltage (ACC) signal when an ignition switch is turned on in an area where the ignition voltage (IGN) line is not available. The method can automatically turn off a source of power for devices such as, e.g., audio, video or other mobile devices at completion of a preset time on a timer to save battery power.
