Rewire an AT traction button into MT? Use traction toggle as an accessory?
So I've done a quick google search of the site and couldn't find anything really for what I'm looking for besides this thread:
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2506276 I'm redoing my trim to be a piano black gloss and need to buy the black traction control buttons (MT). I remembered that the AT's buttons have the "Snow / Sport" toggle and wondered if there's a way to rewire these for some other purpose? Someone mentioned that the AT module has a different connector so you'd have to repin the harness in the MT? I'm looking to use this later on as either an accessory toggle for something, or maybe if I get ECUTek use it for map switching. Really I just want to know what I'll need to do to A) install this properly in a MT and B) wire it up to be used for something later on.

Test it with a cheap LED strip. It is essentially a rocker switch so it would only send a signal while down, not a constant on/off style. I'm not sure on resistance lvls tho that's y I'd say test it with an LED strip. Cud prolly pick up a silver 1 cheap on eBay otherwise just useless buttons

Damn nice idea! I'm going to install air cups over the winter, so it'd be awesome to have them go up and down using those buttons...
Thanks for the idea! I'll start digging into it and post my findings |

I was thinking it would be cool to add buttons this way too. I bought a used AT set off someone, and was going to start looking at it soon. Just need to finish up my heated mirrors first.

Hmmm if they're momentary that makes it more difficult.... Not sure what I'd use it for then. Though I'm still tempted to buy it for the extra $10 just to see if I want to use it for anything later.

ETA: I dug around on this issue, and found a StackExchange question like yours. It gets a little hairy, but they list chips that would work for what you want, which is to push a momentary switch and have it toggle a constant signal (like TVs and laptops). http://electronics.stackexchange.com...ntrol-a-toggle Last edited by davmandave; 11-09-2016 at 05:20 AM. |

All in all, it's probably a lot easier to just get the chip for around a nickel and play with some resistors to get it running. You might be able to sub in an Arduino or Raspberry Pi, and do it all in code. I can do more scratch pad diagrams later if you're still interested on building the electronics yourself. |

I looked at the electrical wiring and checked the AT switch I bought. Here is the drawing of the connector.
Pin 2 has a LED flowing to Pin 3 for lighting Pin 8 is ground, and All buttons tie low. Pin 6 is Snow(AT only) Pin 5 is VSC Off Pin 4 is Sport(AT only) Pin 1 is VSC Sport It looks like it is a subaru connector, I'm going to try out 040-3 recepticals in it to see if they fit in the connector. Then any Tie Low button will work. |
