PedalBox and SprintBooster!

Here's what it looks like and what you'd be up against for the SPORT button mod:

Attachment 9032
Attachment 9033

That thing was not meant to be taken apart. I have no doubt if you did cut it open the mod itself would be very similar to the SB but someone else is going to have to be the guinea pig.

Looking at the control box for PedalBox, I don't think you will be able to configure the sport button to fully work like you can using Sprint Booster. The top portion yes, but the sensitivity part on the bottom, no. Sport button works like a toggle switch allowing you to choose modes, not sensitivity. If I had PedalBox, I wouldn't take that apart. I would just find a location where I can mount the button stalk part and leave it at that.

Well then, SB FTW! I'm not sophisticated enough for specialized dials anyway.

Guessing the PB switch is removable?

No, that's the whole unit.

True, the top button toggles through the four settings; OFF, Sport, Sport+, Econo. The lower two buttons tweaks each mode; -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3. Once you tweak each mode the way you want you could then just use the SPORT button mod to toggle between the 4 modes. You'd just need to figure out a way to get a third LED in there.

Yeah Charlie, I think you're definitely correct on that. I don't think I'd care to adjust the sensitivity on each mode... Once I got it where I liked, I'd just want to be able to turn it off/on or at least adjust between the three modes... And again, that'd be once in a while, just for the effect of being able to press the sport button and getting a boost in performance... Will have to look more into this.

That'd be very tough; two barely fit! What you might be able to do is wire up the switch to light a red LED at two different intensities for Sport & Sport+ & a green LED for Eco.

No clue if you'd be able to do anything about the sensitivity button (I'm thinking no).

EDIT: It'd take a lot more fabricating / modification of the button row, but you could hack up a pair of seat heater buttons to operate the two PB switches & LEDs. The biggest problem is that you'd probably want the two buttons next to each other; you could possibly have a "sport" button operate the mode switching (as described above) & extensively modify the button housing to place a seat heater button & its 3 LEDs to the right of it . . .

You can get LED's as small as you want. If I do decide to do it I would use the driver side heated seat button and mod it so that:

Ignition ON engine OFF --> PedalBox
Ignition ON engine ON --> Heated seat

IT would be like secret stealth mode

Oooooh, clever idea!!

[johnrando]

That would be cool. Def wldn't want to lose heated seats.

I would personally add another button to the special center console switch panel
