Considering I don’t have ac, I guess I’m going to have to find a way to fix that.

The tracbox PD command is legit. Raced all weekend long and it performed as expected. It is a nice luxury not having to do the PD anymore on pregrid.

My Trac Box worked flawlessly at TMP last evening.
A very worthwhile tool.

Haven’t had a chance to run it on track yet, but installed my Trac Box and switches this morning and it works great! Tested the fans and both fans came on at full speed a second or two after switching to on — I have the mishimoto fan/shroud setup currently.

On/Off Switches for Pedal Dance and Fans
Permanent Seat Belt Chime On
TPMS/Speed Lock off

Ran my track box for the first time and loved it. Running with a Series Blue Adventures switch panel. It is also very nice to be able to switch the fans to full on coming off the track.

Finally ordered the track box. I've been a lazy son of a bitch.

Ran Trac Box for the first time this weekend after my Beastronix died. Worked great. Miss the chime that would sound when activating the fan switch that my Beastronix had. Just good confirmation--but its also easy to stick your head out the car and listen for the fan.

For those with the switch panel, where are you running the power for the switch LEDs? Out of curiosity.

The tracbox will provide the +12v & GND.

Edit for clarification: The Tracbox (if ordered w/ pedal dance & fan switch capability) will have 4 leads -- 1 to pedal switch, 1 to fan switch, 1 red lead for +12v, and 1 black lead for GND.

I pulled switched power from behind the glove box, don't remember exactly where. I already had it tapped off and ran since it is also what powers my aftermarket gauges.

HEY GUYS! i got some good news! i know some people have asked about disabling the ABS too though canbus in order to allow you prevent ice mode but also allow the brake balancing to stay. This has been tested by some beta people and have confirmed it working as expected. So im scheduled to have this out and finalized perhaps the first week of august. I know in reality this doesn't change for much people as this is a bit more of a drifting style driving. But for most track guys its just a nice feature.

Is there anyway existing owners of Trac boxes to get this feature?
