Remote fuse22 relay

[stanwan]

Whilst speaking to James of Paralight we got onto the subject of a remote electronic relay for fuse 22. After little persuasion, I purhased and installed one of these on my car and it works fine!!!

[Adam2S]

Interesting, do you mind me asking how much it cost? Did you install it yourself and if so how long did it take?

Regards

[stanwan]

Aha a fellow poster!!!

I was beginning to think that either all of you had one of these already or that the topics been done to death

So to make my self a little clearer...

THIS IS A REMOTE CONTROL FUSE 22 SWITCH!!!!!!!

The transponder is small enough to fit into the ashtray, and the remote control relay can be fitted in 1 minute. I've made a tiny notch on the fuse box lid so i can feed the wire in and close the cover. It really is a neat install and costs less than the factory option.

Great thing is I can mute and un-mute the car at will, and that the car always starts with F22 engaged so that the valves get a workout and don't get seized!

Have a look on www.fuse22.net. Cost is 99 quid

Want pics?

Yes why not, pic always help!

I'm interested as I have my fuse22 permantly disabled but it has crossed my mind that I might want to re-engage it for any long motorway trips. This solution would make that viable without any hassle or significant cost by the looks of it.

Would be nice if the default was to have fuse22 disengaged on start up as that roar when you fire it up adds a quick smile everytime.

The car actually activates the f22 circuit the moment the key us turned. So you can actually open the valves before pressing the starter button

yea i did this, but went for hardwired;

Hmm, I could consider this for those mornings when I want a discreet departure from home. At the moment, the fuse is just rattling round the edge of the fuse box.

Can this item be shipped to the US if paid for on your website?

Excellent idea. How much does this cost?

I'm pretty sure this is no different than the system designed for use on the C6 Z06 Corvette with similar bi-mode exhaust. You should check it out. $90 from WestCoastCorvette.com Comes with 2 remotes.

[Paralight]

Yes, I can ship to the US. The device is so small and light I can include it in the cost of £99.00.

www.fuse22.net then pay via paypal.

As a note, due to a text from a customer earlier. It does have an internal 10A fuse on the input to protect the vacuum pumps from a short.

If you feel brave and/or broke, you could always do what was pointed out on the AMOC forum a couple of years back - looks kinda similar:


It would be straight forward to replace the original fuse with a 12v remote controlled relay and inline fuse:

Either wire the relay to the paddles of a broken fuse (remembering to put an appropriate fuse in-line), or (less satisfactory) use cable clips to break into the two leads that run to the 22 position.

You could always add a relay to the tail-light power too: Lights off - no exhaust. Lights on - exhaust as normal.

I used one of these when I did this.

[SabreN400]

Can these be programmed into the Homelink control on the rear view mirror?

[baz_4]

Sabre,
I was hoping to connect mine to the homelink on my N400 too!
Should have something done by the end of the week, will let you know how I get on.

Captail Beaky, which fuse did you piggy back off for the switched supply?

Seems like a hefty £70 premium for what looks absolutely identical. And you even don't have to tear off the sticker.
