Wireless Steering Wheel Buttons
Re: Wireless Steering Wheel Buttons
Im interested...
Self-canceling turn signal buttons, horn, flashing lasers high-beams to pass those idiots asleep in my lane (or racing line)... Datalogger on/off... What else? Brake balance would be a plus but i dont see how it could work here...

Re: Wireless Steering Wheel Buttons
Mmm yeah, High beam on the lights would be useful as would the indicators when you come to think of it ... the horn could do with a different control - its the same as the start button at the moment I have to think twice and by that time its no longer required.....
I must resist......though

Re: Wireless Steering Wheel Buttons
Looking at this particular website:
http://www.jjcraceandrally.com/omp-steering-wheels-6
The Targa is 330mm, whilst the Trecento is 300mm.
Maybe the Targa 300mm has been discontinued or the original post has the wrong measurement?

First Atomised 2001.
Atom (165) > Atom 2 (220) > Atom 3 (300) > Atom 3.5 (310) > Atom 4 (350).
There is no cure.

Re: Wireless Steering Wheel Buttons
I wrote an E-mail to lee McCormick from Summit Technologies and he said, that the Wheel on the first post was a Targa 330mm!!
Thanks anyway
I have purchased the Wireless system last week, and as soon i will have time to mount it on the car, i'll post some pics here

Re: Wireless Steering Wheel Buttons
Yep, sorry guys it was a Typo
The wheel shown in the photo was in fact a 330mm OD OMP Targa. Any 300mm plus wheel is a perfect size for the Raptor

Re: Wireless Steering Wheel Buttons
I`m afraid i have to disagree...
last week i bought the Sparco P300 Steering Wheel and now i have to send it back, because the Raptor doesn`t fit...
More precisely the Buttons for Windscreen wipers and fluid are clashing to the horizontal spokes of the wheel, because they are to thick!
Now i will try the OMP Trecento 300, hopefully this one will work!

Re: Wireless Steering Wheel Buttons
Sorry to hear that Andi.
We've tried to make the Raptor compatible with as many steering wheel layouts as possible, but there will always be some cases where the spokes of the steering wheel may foul the buttons.
I am sure the Trecento will be great
Please share a photo when you have it installed

Re: Wireless Steering Wheel Buttons
You dont have to be sorry about that, i was just so lucky and grabbed one of the wrong ones!
Re: Wireless Steering Wheel Buttons
Andi, here's the Raptor on a 300mm OMP Trecento wheel layout. It's lined up exactly with the mounting holes for sizing.
I needed to see it for myself

Re: Wireless Steering Wheel Buttons
Hello all,
After I had knee surgery, I came to install just last week.
What should I say ...
The Raptor came in a small box with a short but detailed instruction.
So i started to measure out the wires of my car, which was a little tricky because the former owner made a pretty mess with the wires.
Then i soldered the first few wires to the raptor, put the 2032 Battery in the transmitter and tried the indicators and the horn.
Everything worked great and i had a big grinn on my face!
So i tried to go on with the warning flashers.....
After hours of measuring and trying i couldn make it work....
On the warning flasher button are so many wires which are interacting with even more things that i just couldn`t do it by myself. (for instance:the indicators are not working when the warning blinker isn`t connected..)
But fortunately a friend of mine helped me by soldering a circuit board which takes on the functions of the Flasher Button.
So it works as follows: I Push the Raptor button, the Raptor sends it to the receiver, the receiver to the circuit board and from there to the single indicators!

Re: Wireless Steering Wheel Buttons
In the Raptor receiver Box was so much space left underneath the original circuid board, that i was able to fit the new board inside the Raptor.
So it doesn`t look that bad.....
After i have found a place for the box i made a holder for it behind the dashboard so you can`t see it.
Edit: This Board doesn`t replace the original Raptor board, i added it!!

Re: Wireless Steering Wheel Buttons
When that was done i screwed the Receiver tho my new steering wheel.....
the problem with that was, that the suede lether was so thick that the Receiver didn`t lay on the aluminum but outside on the leather. So when i screwed it on it has warped/bent. :-
But with that i took the easy way and screwed it on with 2 washers (for every screw) between the Wheel and the receiver.
As i was too stingy for buying the 3 to 6 hole adaptor i made it myself. It doesn`t look very good but it works!
By the way, i have made the black aluminum plate out of the old steering wheel.

Re: Wireless Steering Wheel Buttons
After all the Raptor Kit is a great thing althought i think its a little too expensive and i wished the thing with the warning blinkers would have been faster and easyer....
Oh, before i forget, the transmitter even works through 2 housewalls and 15meters into the garage, haha!
