(sorry if this is in the wrong place)
I know this sounds weird, but in reading that thread on v6p on swapping in a prelude/TL shifter, someone mentioned that the tiptronic controls on that shifter could possibly be wired to something else in the car, such as volume up/down or even windows, since it was basically just two switches, (+) and (-). My question is, has anyone ever tried wiring something like that to their cruise control?
I know the cruise switch is completely different, and its controls use a combination of 3 wires. According to Haynes, 'Set' uses wire 1 and 3, 'Resume' uses 1 and 2, and 'Cancel' uses all three. So this this question is for any of you electrical gurus, could something potentially be used to route the above controls to +/- switches? Maybe some other type of control box?
I'm clearly no electrician, so who knows if that's even possible, but i think it'd be an interesting setup to get working, and could potentially be useful for people with quick release steering wheels. Any thoughts?
(And to answer the question 'why bother': Why not?)
