Default Finished up my remote V1 display in the ultimate stealth manner. I put the mute button...

nowhere. =)

Since my cruise control hasn't worked since I bought the car, I figured I'd use the switch at the end of the stalk to mute my V1. So I pulled the steering wheel off and the column apart and removed the cruise control switch. Then I tested the cruise leads to find which ones complete a momentary circuit when the button is pushed. I wired the V1 mute leads to them and buttoned everything back up and now the SET switch on the end of my turn signal / cruise stalk controls the MUTE function of my V1.

Default Have to credit Zodiak from Audizine for the cruise-mute idea.

It came up today while we were talking about crusie control switch failures - his suggestion.

Nice! Hmmm, I think that switch could come in handy for other things. :-)
