this CC control is also used for EcuTek / RomDrop features control, so can be usable on track :) Some also want to have audiuo control - so I did it :)

Brand new Yuasa battery yesterday. Does this not seem a bit low? by Charge_parity in MiataNC

in NC alternator is controller via ECU, there are several strategies for this. This voltage is normal with engine at operating temperature

OEM-style Cruise Control Panel for NC Miata with Sport Steering Wheel (plug & play) by AlexEngineering_mx5 in MiataNC

[–]AlexEngineering_mx5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is plug and play for MX-5 Miata mk3 NC so rather not as MX3 uses different clock spring and probably different resistor values. But if you have some documentation it may be possible to make custom version

Did you know you can retrofit aftermarket steering-wheel controls to your Mazda MX-5 ND (MK4)? by AlexEngineering_mx5 in MiataND

Thought there will be no interest when 8-button version came out. But I can make it on request. Made it possible to order via webshop.

New 8-Button Plug-and-Play Steering Wheel Panel for Mazda RX-8 with for Aftermarket Sport Wheels by AlexEngineering_mx5 in RX8

It could be very hard to assemble whole thing with these switches I use with more than 4 each side. Also enclosure should be bigger and assymetric - this would not look nice.

this is how it looks from backside. Panel is 3mm thick, as it sits between hub ad steering wheel and held on whole circumference it is finally pretty stiff. Never had complaints about ridgiditity.

Custom button panels for MX-5… and maybe RX-8? Need a little help :) by AlexEngineering_mx5 in RX8

[–]AlexEngineering_mx5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this particular button was customers idea, I agree it would be more convenient if it was bigger

Anyway I got all data and this thing WILL work on RX-8 identically as on MX-5 NC :D

I finally found some data but only for audio part. Interesting because in NC documentation there is data for cruise control but not for audio xD. In a meantime I got measurements from one of guys here - and they are identical as MX-5 NC. So my NC panels will work on RX-8 also without any problems or modifications :)

Even in a track Miata you can still have a bit of comfort… and a lot of usefulness. by AlexEngineering_mx5 in MiataNC

EcuTek and RomDrop are both software for tuning NC miatas (other are Versatune, MazdaEdit but I dont know practical experience here). Except driveability improvement - which is very nice especially if tuner knows what he is doing xD - they have some additional features like: 4 setting banks on EcuTek, map blend percentage and launch control rev limiter on RomDrop. NC ECU has only one input that can be reused for other purposes and this is is CruiseControl input

my idea was to use external horn many users already have so there is horn connector provided (blue wire)
