Default Stealth Switches CUSTOM!! PICS

Gauging interest for stealth switches

No one will know you have any additional switches ultimate in stealth install

I can modify the stock steering wheel radio controls to control anything you want.

My Car
volume up/down Exahust cut out open close
seek up/down bottle open close
play= purge
amfm= bottle warmer
mute=Line Lock

The steering wheel controls have a hidden switch behind the steering wheel so you may disable the buttons when they are not needed.

Would like to get a estimate of how many people like this idea and what people would be willing to pay considering $50 in parts and about 3-4 hours of labor

No, there will be a switch behind the steering wheel to deactivate the controls and return the switches to standard usage.

I would be interested in that as well, sweet setup.

Sorry guys actually my current circuit layout doesn't allow for the factory stereo switches to continue working. most people have aftermarket radios anyways but for those that don't I will be looking into that.

The switch is just to disable the conrols all together so they are not accidently pressed.

I think I figured out how to make factory switches to control radio also It will also be able to control most aftermarket radios as long as they came with a factory IR remote. I will be testing next weekend and let those that we're interested know

I've been trying to find info on the same setup. When I move to nitrous that's exactly how I want to control it. I'll definitely be in contact with you when nitrous is added to my car.
