You could solder a connector to the "ON" key and then connect it to a
Relais (how is this called in english?) or transistor circuit which is
powered through the cigarette lighter output. The same for the OFF
key. Of course, you have to open the AJB for this mod... Hm, what's
with the remote control for the AJB? I don't have one, but I think it
cannot switch the AJB on/off (one could solder the relais to the
remote). :(

Sorry, I think there's no easier possibility.

Bye, Uwe.
