Have a device that is powered off the vehicles electrical system.
Device should be turned on while traveling the interstate to avoid hitting deer anmd other wildlife.
Several ideas on connecting to vehicle supply:
cigarette lighter plug, plug it in and go. Problem is routing to device mounted under the hood or routing just the speaker wires through firewall. Cigarette lighter plugs are $10 +. cheaper to connect to switched supply.
Have unit under hood connected to switched supply, then route one wire to drivers compartment that driver pushes a push button that activates an scr to turn on device. Monetary push button triggers scr. Car is turned off device gets turned off as well. Have an LED to indicate unit is active
open for suggestions
