Making a remote switch for profec b

[turboglenn]

Does anyone know if it's just a momentary contact that teh unit performs that's lugged into the back of the profec? I'm wondering because i don't want their switch since it tends to move around so much from what i hear. I want to put it on the cruise control cancel button.
So if anyone has info please share.. or if there's some one with the unit that can test theirs', I would apreciate it

Awesome! Thanks, I searched profec B remote switch and tht wasn't one of the threads i got.

Time to get out some old head phones and a soldering iron

To wire the cruise control switch, just trace back the wires from the switch that run along the steering column. Underneath the dash is a white connector that connects the switch wires to the harness. There are three wires on the connector. You can cut the red wire and wire the switch side of it to the ebc. That's the best place I found to tap into the cruise control switch.

Thanskf or teh info turbosax.. I'll probably use a one way diode or something so that i can maintane my cruise control and use it for switching boost settings wihtout the 12v going back to teh profec

I'm going to put my button in the bottom of the three swithes in my center vent console.
It is just a blank right now so its perfect.

I have the wireless remote, but after seeing this, I might consider buying one of those shifter knobs with the "NOS" button and use that instead. Ofcourse I would have to find a non-ricer knob, which is going to be the hardest part of all this. I always had an issue using a blinker to switch lanes, shift, and depress the button simultaniously, which is when I seem to use it the most. (Chasing after someone, or passing on the highway)

The only reason i'll use it is for traction in 1st and maybe 2nd, but i can modulate that pretty well in 2nd. I'd love to have a 3 stage which come to think of it, i can with a MBC and EBC working together, but you'd have to go into the board and hardwire another momentary switch to power on the unit... Or just have a push on - push off switch in the power line to it...HMMMMMMM

tomorrow's going to be fun. Putting my anti lag back into action, setting up what most call "no lift to shift" in my ECU, and wiring in the 0-5v out from my wideband into the ECu's spare datalogging input or to teh main o2 wire than can be set to read a wideband yey!!!!!

That's exactly what I ended up doing... Rather then just using the GReddy's rear remote port, I actually open it up so that I can add 2 pairs of wires to the ProFecB's existing power & select switches... The front panel of the ProfecB has it's own daughterboard that consists of the buttons and the LEDs. Soldering x2 pair of 22awg wire to them was cake.
Then you just need to find a home for the remote switches...
Being an ATX DSM, I already had a cool spot for a pair of micro switches. -The AT shifter. I then picked up a couple of micro switches that I found on ebay. The specs that they have are: 1/4"sq base, normally open (momentary), with an extended (~3/8") button. For you fellow AT guys, the 1g OEM gear shifter back plastic plate has plenty of room for the two switches... Add in a 4 pin molex plug on both the shifter & ProFecB's sides (for ease of R&R'ing) and there yah go... -A true three stage EBC:
Off = OE boost
On + Profec's Low Boost set to XXpsi = Mid boost setting
On + SEL button (keep pressing it will toggle from High & "Mid" settings) = High boost (AKA "The Win Button")

Here's a behind the scene pic:

very nice!.. you just gave me the inspiration for what mine will look like ( although a bit different than yours )

kudos to you!

glad I can help! Here's what the outside looks like...

WOW, now that looks CLEAN!!!!!!! very nice install. I use to have my anti lag switch custom recessed into my 5spd shift knob. It was a PITA to drill the shifter and knob, and then get teh switch adn wired in without twisting them off. Looks like the AT would be easier to work with!
