SCT switchable tune chip switch

ttocs · Jun 20, 2013

WHO IS THE DUMB MOFO THAT DESIGNED THIS THING:shocked:? Was he planning on people having their children along to make the adjustments on it and the rest of us need to hire a dwarf with good eyes to help us, or no one ever actually using it:thumbsup:? First if I could actually see what tune# it was on with out it being 3" from my face would be absolutely amazingly USEFULL but then if they either made it big enough for a 12 yr olds hand or gave us tweezers to adjust it would be great.... They use to rip you off for that ugly pos switch for the nice price of $40 but I guess between the option of never using it or mounting that ugly pos, they didn't sell any(wonder why?!). Has anyone ever found a reasonably priced, good looking alternative or did everyone else just ball the cable up behind the glove box? Seems like there should be a better way...........

Idk man I've never had a problem reading or adjusting it. I ran mine up inside the glove box so it's convenient to adjust.

you can honestly see, read and adjust that shit? In the glove box from the drivers seat? I call bs....

soo your saying the dial switch from 1-7 is too small and hard to read?

ttocs · Jun 20, 2013

WAAAAAY too small. If you look at the pic to get an idea of the size look at the hrns on the other end and its barely bigger then that. maybe slightly larger then 1/4" square and then 8 different areas for that itty bittty thingy to go too.

never had a problem seeing or reading it, but I've never had to adjust it from the drivers seat. I left a little slack in the wire so it comes out of the glove box a bit. would you like me to make you a video of me adjusting it lol

I ask because I noticed my car runs a little lean with the cut-outs open and considered since I need to get it retuned anyway getting one written to correct this. I would like to be able to adjust it from the seat with out too much trouble(leaning/squinting/hoping) and with as small as it is I would have too do all 3 of those.

OnyxCobra · Jun 20, 2013

well, once you get it right and it's on the right setting you'll have no need to adjust it so it doesn't really matter. If it was something you had to adjust all the time I could maybe see it being annoying but for how little you have to use it it's fine to get the job done. It's not something you can adjust on the fly so it's not really that important to be able to get to it from the drivers seat.

See that is the thing I would like to be able to adjust depending on if I have my cut outs open or closed which I am finding is too much fun to play with. I would like to put it in the consol if I could get it that far but for the time being I would just settle for being able to see/adjust it. Sounds like you have not messed with it a lot either I don't think its as easy as you remember.

Never had trouble with this..

ttocs · Jun 20, 2013

Not the best looking(5 screws?) and when you put it into perspective that the numbers are smaller then the little screws, and the whole switch is smaller then a shirt button to hold I still have to ask WHY CAN'T WE MAKE IT NORMAL SIZED?

Adder just reworked my tune so I used it no more than a couple weeks ago. Also I've never heard of a car that needed a different tune for exhaust cutouts, also my understanding is you can't switch the tune while the car is running anyhow so if you wanted to switch you'd have to shut the car off before turning the knob.

ttocs · Jun 20, 2013

I understand that its not something you switch with the ignition on, I understand that its not something that YOU have had a need to adjust.

OnyxCobra · Jun 20, 2013

so being that you said you like to use the cutouts a lot, are you suggesting that every time you want to open them you're going to turn the car off, switch the tune and restart it with the cutouts open? and then the same thing when you close them? lol come on man, that's hardly even worth it.

rz5.0 · Jun 20, 2013

You can switch on the fly.. No need to shut the car off..

ttocs · Jun 20, 2013

yes that is what I said above that 3pm in the start of rush hour traffic on the highway I am wanting to know how long it will take me to shut my car down and restart it if I decide to open the cut outs - isn't that the question at hand? traffic be damned that is what I said I was going too do above and what I was asking correct? No. I asked if there was an option that would make it bigger/easier to use so I am not so sure why everyone is assuming one thing or going off on another or give a shit why I am doing it. It has switchable options but neither the cable nor the switch make them usable from short of 8" away from it and the cable hardly reaches the shifter. I paid extra for it, it has the option to make changes I am curious about and I WANT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE ACCESS TO IT so shit man get over all YOUR issues with what ever it is people....
