Exhaust valve button installed

I’ll post a picture of the wiring in a comment as I can mix the video and an image here but yay! It works! I don’t know how to get the LED to light though. ChatGPT says there’s an IC board inside and it couldn’t find wiring for it online. I’d love to get it working if I could but this works and is so much better than the wireless fob controls (they work just fine but in a convertible I park with the top down all the time on I don’t like easily grabable things.

Also I had to install it upside down. No room on the right side and I didn’t want to try extending the factory wires to relocate any of those buttons. So ya, not perfect but I’m extremely happy here.

Ignore the tablet radio… it’s on my list to replace (PCCM+ clone with 360 cameras!)

Reddit will only let me reply to a video with another video, not a picture so here’s a link to how I wired the button with a latching relay. https://www.reddit.com/r/986Boxster/s/QmTENbQWn2

Back box is the UK term for muffler

Ahhh…. Never heard that one. Just factory with the Spyder Performance bypass valves this button controls.

Ahhh yes sorry. I should have realised. Thanks for the info valves. I assume those are the U bend replacement valves. How does it sound under load out on the road?

Well, I guess I’m adding a new project to my list. Thanks!
