Wiring up steering wheel buttons as a start/stop switch

Postby manwithsupra » Tue Jul 03, 2012 9:49 am

Sorry I posted this in the wrong section before..

I have a steering wheel on my race car with integrated momentary pushbutton switches and I would like to use one of them to use as the remote start/stop switch for the DL1 mk2, I can see that you can purchase a kit for the remote function but I really want to use one of the buttons already on the wheel.
How would I make this work?

Cheers everyone.

Thanks for this, I have read this before however this is using the optional remote switch with integrated LED.

I wanted to know how to wire up a standard pushbutton switch. I can see the front of the unit to see if its logging so dont need the LED notification on the steering wheel.

Am I right in saying I will need to connect one of the pushbutton terminals to Trig and the other to Ground?

This is how to connect up a remote start/stop switch... though it wanders off and talks about using RT's four wire illuminated push button...

Basically use a simple momentary switch between "Start Logging" and "Ground" on the back of the DL1.

I've been using http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/products/265-0679/ for quite a few years without problems.
