wondering if anyone knows if any momentary on - off - momentary on switches could be used in place of the supplied switches?

If you're running it so that power is always on when the bike is running.....wondering if anyone knows if any momentary on - off - momentary on switches could be used in place of the supplied switches?
+1The on/off isn't actually a power switch on the Audiovox. The on button sets a latching circuit that keeps power on in the controller, and the off button triggers something else that turns off the latch. Generally folks replacing the Audiovox control pad with something else just wire the red wire at the control pad connector to the brown wire. The system thinks you're holding the on button, which it's OK with.
What you want to do with your operating switch (you need a momentary contact double-throw center-off switch) is connect 12 volts to the green wire for set/coast, and 12 volts to the yellow wire for resume/accel. Basically tie the red and brown wires together, connect them to the common terminal of your switch. That gets 12 volts to the brown wire at all times, and makes 12 volts available to the switch. Connect green to one side of the switch and yellow to the other. The red wire goes through the fuse to a switched power source on the bike, like the blue wire to the front turn signals or the tail lights.
Wired like that, the control unit is always on with the bike on, which is perfectly OK. All you need then is the switch to bump for set or resume. Couldn't be simpler.
Well I just picked up an Audiovox CCS-100 (missing control pad) from eBay.No the fun job of trying to compile all the useful bits of the various install threads into a single install instruction set.
Weeee.... :huh:
To avoid confusing info between threads, I thought I'd note that wfooshee has since confirmed in another thread that the latching circuit is actually in the switch housing so connecting red to brown is equivalent to pressing and releasing the On button.The on/off isn't actually a power switch on the Audiovox. The on button sets a latching circuit that keeps power on in the controller, and the off button triggers something else that turns off the latch.
