i purchased this at the Autosport show :





Its a infa Red , wireless 8 Button steering wheel set , i have it setup so the white buttons when held in give me full boost , the 2 black buttons latch to give me full boost , the red button is engine start , green button is gearbox oil pump for gearbox cooling and the blue button is water meth . very easy to use and means i can get rid of loads of horrible switches on the center consol !!

Lovely quality and easy to fit , should make switching stuff on on track a lot safer !!

Local interconnect network, I was wondering if you had to distribute individual wires all over the car or if it was using a network, nice though!

We are not weird we are fen people , bloody webbed toes make it difficult to heal and toe biggrinbiggrin

Adrian , the receiver box has 10 amp relays fitted which are hard wired to the units you need to control , I've mounted the receiver under the dash so I can see it from the drivers seat , shows a small green LED when a channel is selected .

Might not trust 10 amps for the gearbox pump, inrush is fairly high, I would use it to drive the relay coil you are currently using.

Yeh thought the same so everything has a 30amp relay in the line , system is fully adjustable so any button can operate any system also deactivates if you turn the wheel past 180 degrees .
Link to website if anyone is interested
