What exactly is a tie-low button? Does pressing the Snow/Sport button just change which pin gets a signal? |

1 - VSC Sport 2 - Anode (Positive end of the LED lights) 3 - Cathode (Negative end of the LED ligths) 4 - Sport (AT switch) 5 - VSC Off 6 - Snow (AT switch) 7 - non existent 8 - Ground I checked my switch on the manual transmission, and it's missing pins 4, 6 and 7, so it's all making sense I'm not sure what he means by tie-low (The normally ground or normally V?) but by measuring the type of output you get when you press Sport or Snow, you can easily determine if you need additional circuitry to obtain your goals. I'll measure that in a friends AT soon =) |

I found that AMP 316836-1 040-3 receptical fits in the connector fine. So with two of those, and a AT switch assembly, you get two new buttons.
Tie Low means the switch connects to Ground not power. So whatever you want to add will have to have a power source(power plug in center consule is probably the cosesst), the fancy thing to add, then go to the wire connector to the back of the buttons, and when the button is pushed it will connect the wire to ground.

Whew okay things are making some more sense now! Sounds like I need to do some more research and studying before I start this project... And figure out what I'd want to use my two new buttons for as well. Lol
I'm curious to see what you both find when you do some testing.

I feel like you would need a magic/more magic label for that. http://catb.org/esr/jargon/html/magic-story.html |

I like how you photoshopped out the scratches on the VSC button as well. I feel like that is the perfect button set up for map switching. |

Components in real life
Ok, so I'm not very familiar with what components are available in real life for reasonable prices and working on 12V...
Lets say I want to have the 2 signals from Snow and Sport trigger a simple On/Off switch. What component out there can do that? Being that the signal doesn't stay on, i thought of something such as a double relay, which I designed here (if it's not patented I'm gonna regret posting this here ) Does this exist? What's the name for it? Thanks!! |

With the way it's pinned out, doesn't snow/sport already work as an on/off switch?

Raising this thread from the dead since I have a new update and more questions.
Went ahead and bought the A/T switch and installed it into the car. Took a look at the pins beforehand and there's just the two previously mentioned that need wiring. Looking at the wiring diagrams below for the transmission ECU assembly, am I correct in assuming that I just need to pin & wire everything together? ECUtek is able to use the A/T buttons to switch maps on the fly, but naturally I assume they have to be wired into the factory location on the ECU for it to work (which is the whole point of this project so far). For the record, you can purchase this switch and plug and play right into your manual car. No other schenanigans required. [/url]
