Aux Switches: cool things beyond light bars

[Heimkehr]

Here's the Spod sticker sheet, may give you some ideas:

"Helmet Air"?
I've seen some ambitious JLU builds, but nothing that provides deep water diving support.

Nobody's wired up a passenger ejector seat yet?

I installed this fabric key fob under the Ural's sidecar seat. It actually serves a legitimate purpose; pull it and the seat cushion detaches to provide access to the storage tray (as pictured).

At least a couple of people have honestly asked me if there was an actual ejection feature. I don't know whether to smile or frown at that one... ?

Didn't you watch Saturday morning cartoons?

You bet I did! 9:30-11:00AM was the Bugs Bunny/Road Runner show.

And then I was sent outside to play until 5PM suppertime.

I was part of the last generation of free-range children.

Then you would be familiar with the ACME company. Just link them up and get your ACME ejector seat. You just weren't thinking dude.

For those of you who have no clue what we are talking about.

Per Wile E's experience, their Return policy stinks.

I love it! Both practical AND with a sense of humor!

I have a set of pods that came with a rocker that has 3 positions:
TOP - White beam only
MID - off
LOW - Accent (RGB)

My question is if I want to wire this to a push-button station or the stock rubi aux buttons, Do I need to use 2 btns or can I do it with a single?

Anything is possible. But two.

Please post a picture of the compressor in the cargo area. I would like to see how it has been mounted.

Don't want to get too far off topic. Wiring harness was about 16' total from battery to plugs at compressor. I replaced the ARB rocker switch with the AUX 2 switch. I'm using the M.O.R.E. mount. Seems well made with a nice finish. Has worked with the hard and soft top, but I did have to drill out a hole on the bottom of the soft top door surround plastic to accommodate the mounting plate (utilizes the forward hard top bolt hole that this piece would normally cover).

I play with those at work, lol. I looked into getting real Korry or Boeing switches, but aside from them being around $250 each, they’re BIG (deep).

I originally built this panel, but after finding this Voswitch kit I just went with that. Much simpler instal, and I didn’t have to build a relay center. My original idea was to mount them in the blank cubby where the Rubi control panel goes, but found it very awkward to reach behind the shifters. Overheads are novel, but the dash top pod is much more practical.

My old Mini Cooper had switches like that.

I have Aux 3 connected to my LED cubes that are mounted in the rear bumper. (OEM backup lights suck). By using a diode, I have them setup so they turn on in reverse. They can also be manually activated if I need general area illumination with the Aux button (handy in the woods after dark).

I'm thinking the next best use for the Aux buttons might be to install a cell-phone jammer. It seems like it would be the only thing to get my teens to look out the window and enjoy the scenery.

(fine print: Yes, I know that is likely illegal, unsafe, and disruptive to others. Internet lawyers need not respond. Parents understand the need for this type of product. )

No relay needed? Just a diode?

Aux 1 controls ARB compressor
Aux 2 is front mount camera, both 1&2 on only with ignition
Aux 3 is GMRS radio
Aux 4 is refrigerator, both 3&4 on with or without ignition
Ejector seat plugs into cigarette lighter socket. See Amazon

Correct. Think of the diode as a 'splitter' of sorts that allows two power sources to feed a device, but blocks current from flowing backwards against the diode. This allows the Aux button to feed the LED cubes, but not backfeed to the OEM reverse lights or the computer on the other end of those lights.

I bought this set off Amazon that is a set of 4 for around $15. You only need 2 and I had one burn up so it is handy for extras.

My amazon linking isn't working but it is item #B0002Q81Y4.

Received my Badgeglow circuit board. Love it. Wire the 4 aux wires to the bottom and add accessories! You can easily change what switch you hook your accessories to. It also has 2 ground points.

So far winch solinoid to switch 1 and Rick lights to 4.

Same but different.
