Would it be possible to hotwire a XM satellite radio (5v) so that the power could be turned on and off by the ceiling light switch? If so what would be necessary?

a switch rigged to the power line.

mounted to the ceiling

nigga wha?

10/16/2007 8:34:42 AM

PM me, I have a friend who could probably rig something up

10/16/2007 9:02:44 AM

sure its possible...but that doesn't mean you'd want to go thru the trouble to do it

10/16/2007 9:24:39 AM

^^ sounds like a job for this idiot

10/16/2007 9:25:20 AM

Lighten up on ma nikka, Keith. I'd trust him to do a clean install almost as much as I'd trust you.

10/16/2007 9:49:55 AM

It's impossible. Anyone who says otherwise is a fibber.

10/16/2007 10:22:32 AM

i'm stil wonderin why in the blue fuck anyone would want to do this

10/16/2007 11:46:42 AM

I have no fucking idea why in the blue fuck anybody would want to do this, but if I can hook up one of my niggas on a money-making venture, I'm all for it.

If I can hook up yo nigga ass, lemme know.

maybe the cigeratte lighter on his car stays hot all the time and he thinks an xm reciever will kill his battery overnight. which it wont.

10/16/2007 11:56:49 AM

maybe he is turning his bedroom into a swinger palace and wants everything on one giant board of switches. think about it.

10/16/2007 2:37:00 PM

No I was arguing with a friend on whether it could be done fairly easily

10/16/2007 3:15:58 PM

y not just get damn home kit ?

10/16/2007 3:55:25 PM

still don't know what the fuck you are talkin about tryin to do

10/16/2007 7:03:02 PM

Has anyone even bothered to mention the problem of a car's 12v power system, and he wants a 5 volt line?

Not a problem for those of us who are truly LEET, nikka.

Dey got ICs fo dat shit, foo...

10/16/2007 10:03:14 PM

^^I've done it with 5 bucks in radio shack parts, some aluminum fins, and a mini 1" fan. It's worked for 4 months now no problem, tucked under the steering column, above the brake pedal for some circulation. I will say without the fins and fan the first IC melted in a few minutes when I tested it.

My receiver pulls a constant .5 amps iirc.

Just saying that it isn't just plug and play, that's all.
