We appear to agree on 1, 3 & 4

I'm surprised there in no ground/earth in your list but will see when the switch arrives. Did you meter the plug while disconnected from the switch?

I haven't done that yet, and I too was surprised there was no ground in my list. Hoping one you more experienced guys can help nail this down

Oops, quoted an earlier post before seeing Whee!'s post above. Can you translate that (thanks for the diagram, BTW) into English for noobs like me?

I would consider using the generic three position switch if the plastic was of higher quality and matched the interior better. Otherwise, the factory look is by far the best.

Perhaps the thread title should include 2010?

I think a sticker could be printed but a little tricky to cover the HI / LO and and say something else - could those be scraped off the surface of the switch or are they printed on the underside of the clear lens?

Jeffblue · 12-03-2010, 06:02 PM

yea, the seat warmer switch looks way better. i think the best look would be scraping off the 'hi' and 'low' text, masking off the clear area, and then painting the rest of the switch black.

Each seat warmer switch will be modified with a mod serial number so everyone will know your position in build series. Switch serial #1 for me!

jk

seriously.... you guys kill me!

BTW Brian, do you think you can get the female connector end to go into the seat warmer switch? If that is part of the harness we are laughing!

guys, i have a really good idea for the button solution. Its a button everyone loves pressing before they crash their Z

Thats a good idea. Thinking about it, with that off you probably shouldn't be playing with the NAV or watching a DVD

djpathfinder · 12-04-2010, 03:54 AM

I'm in for the switched version please. I must have indicated that in the other thread. Thanks.

The Verify Door is Closed or VDC button already serves an important purpose and without it how would the car know the door is closed? Engage immediately upon closing your doors....

djpathfinder · 12-04-2010, 11:17 AM

Could always wire it to the hazard lights button. It'll warn people to be careful as you're driving and operating the nav/watching the DVD at the same time.

yea no kiddin....i'd be impressed if they could work these functions into the cruise control buttons on the steering wheel. Instead of changing ecu maps, it will turn on rearview camera!

That could be arranged, I was actually thinking about maybe a key combination with existing switches. The downside is it would require a little more work but a fairly simple circuit.

wheee! · 12-04-2010, 08:35 PM

I'll just be happy to be able to have my passenger enter address info while driving. I ran into the issue today in my Lincoln and I was so frustrated to have to stop the car to enter the info.
Bring on the Hack! At least driving the Z I won't have to deal with this issue anymore....
