Who wants to sell me their stalk, I'm second.

devinlamothe · 04-27-2009, 10:25 PM

I'll probably be selling my stalk as well since I don't feel comfortable taking the dash apart to run the wires.

mrbond · 04-27-2009, 11:12 PM

Well, I'm still waiting on my stalk, and I'm relatively comfortable taking apart the dash. I think, PK198105, that the wiring diagrams and such will need to be clarified...at least for my sake :P

mrbond · 04-27-2009, 11:18 PM

^ lol whenever the damn stalk feels like arriving @_@

mikenacarato · 04-27-2009, 11:38 PM

ive got a friend at work who wants to do this pretty bad. what exactly would he have to do to run the oem switch. can someone type some quick step by step directions?

IllusionX · 04-28-2009, 11:15 AM

has the stalk arrived yet? PK ??

mikenacarato · 04-28-2009, 02:30 PM

ya if you could take some pics pk that would be marvelous :)

CTScott · 04-28-2009, 04:40 PM

I received my switches and buttoned mine up today. I decided to stick with two switches (on/off and Set), as I never bother with resume or +/-. I mounted the switches where the engine start button would go.

2. if you dont have that blue wire you will need to take the dash apart to get to AD4 junction box, and that is another story. when i have some free time ill try to take some pics of the process.

can we figure out what year/options/model will determine these 2?

CTScott, that's awesome. I expect a full write-up with pictures on my desk by tomorrow morning. lol jk

just a question, but must there be two buttons, or is it possible for there be a rocker switch, similar to the factory power window buttons?

Hey, I'm just waiting for PK's writeup on running that dang wire on your antiques.

I actually bought four different types of switches, including two 4-way joystick type ones that turned out to be too small, as they are really intended to be used on mobile phones. one momentary-off-momentary rocker switch could be used in place of my two switches, or two could be used to provide all four functions.

AlexNet0 · 04-28-2009, 08:56 PM

Has everyone else already recieves their stalk switches?

mrbond · 04-28-2009, 09:01 PM

Nope. Still waiting impatiently.

Ditto. Should be any day now I hope. I have an '09 so hopefully the install should be simple.

Shroomster · 04-29-2009, 01:39 AM

CTSscott, is your setup able to be cancelled by pressing the brake? and can you over-ride the set speed with acceleration to a new speed and then pressing set again?
