I am a little rusty with my electronics, but I do believe you can put a capacitor in line with it. There will need to be some calculations done to see how large of one you would need for that kind of delay, but it should work.. Maybe someone can give you the specifics on how to make this work.

You can put a capacitor in parallel with the device you are turning on, and a resistor in series between the HU and the cap. The resistor will limit the current that can charge the cap and will determine how fast the cap charges. This will also cause the turn off to be delayed roughly the same amount.
Phoenix Gold's website had a pretty decent article on doing this a couple years ago, might still be there.

they have how to delay the TURN OFF of a processor(ftp://208.187.38.55/Phoenix_Gold/TechSupport/delay.pdf), is this what u are talking about and will it work the same?. i just need to know how to do it for turn on. It also says 1000uF cap for 4 seconds and 2200uF for 8 seconds. what size or kind of resistor do i need?

Why don't you post all the information you found for this, so we all can use it?
