Default Tech Days of summer...

several of us got together Saturday to do some "tech" stuff to our Audi's. thought i would share.

in attendance were jeff - silver streakin, raj - RKA, skip w/ his TT and myself, tools and garage...

first we embarked on a special wiring setup to allow jeff to independently control his city lights on the Euro housings.

this install incorporated a special adaptation of the S4 ESP switch. therefore it's nicely integrated into his center console.

the wiring...

testing the setup prior to final install...

the completed job w/ nicely covered and routed wiring in the engine bay...

then Raj, never one to turn down a good technical challenge, assisted Skip in re-routing his wiring for his subwoofer...

sorry i didn't snap pics of my neighbor's son-in-law's Carrera 4. we all agreed it was a sweet ride.

after the installs the guys left for Skip's pad to smoke some cigars and play GT3.

thanks for coming over guys - it was fun!

Default Can you elaborate about the "black box"? I assume it holds your relay, 'cause the ESP switch is...

... a momentary switch, yes? I see it is a Radio Shack product... I should've guessed they'd have something for this purpose.

I have a spare switch for my dash to use for switching the servotronic steering in and out. So I need a relay for the momentary switch to toggle in and out.

Default yes...

it's a radio shack relay... 10amp 12v DPDT

if you are interested in the wiring diagram i can post it for you this evening.

we encountered one issue that i am following up on. there is nothing to actually break the closure of the relay after you hit the switch...i.e., the city lights can't be turned off.

i will either need to add a second switch or figure out an alternative to wiring the relay.

Thanks... sounds like the wiring diagram needs some modification.
