MotoGadget m.Unit Blue
Discussion
I came across this little device a few weeks ago and have been contemplating one for my build.

Does anyone have any experience of these?
They appear to be made primarily for the classic and custom bike market, but there's not much more on a kit car than a bike in terms of electronics. Marker lights, indicators, brakes, dip/main beam, ignition, horn.
Seems like it would ease the wiring somewhat with no old school fuses or relays! And completely tunable!

Well, I've just ordered one, I'm still a little while off yet (only got my chassis last weekend) but I used a discount code that was due to expire so I got a decent discount.
My reasoning was that although I could've done fuses and relays for probably half the cost, the time wiring it all in, mounting and future proofing seemed worth the extra, as well as the additional safety features and tunability.
The pembleton is pretty basic as far as wiring goes (its basically a bike for all intents and purposes).

I'm at the wiring stage now and do have a basic wiring diagram I've drawn up
I don't have wipers or washers.
I think if its a beach buggy you'll run out of inputs/outputs. I JUST have enough, but being a three wheeler going through an MSVA, don't need fog lights, side repeaters, high level brake light, reversing light etc.
I think for a 4 wheel car that needs the above items there are probably more comprehensive alternatives. For my uses it's perfect, but I am mindful of electrical requirements...

I've just come across your post regarding using a Motogadget M unit on your kitcar and was wondering how you got around wiring the wipers and washers etc and/or have you made a wiring diagram, I am building a beach buggy and also thought of using one of these.
For wipers, washers, fod/driving lights ... just make a distribution block running from the M-Unit Accesory output.NOTE: This a low voltage micro relay system that works on reverse polarity switching.
All of your switches operate as negative (ground) points for the M-Unit to trigger the output (positive) side of the box.
