Phoenix Switch-On-The-Fly Chip (DISCOUNTINUED) (Disabled)
Power Hungry no longer sells the Phoenix/TS chip, but if you need custom tuning we can recommend a few really good tuners that will be able to still provide tuning and support for your chip.

If you have any other questions or comments about the Phoenix/TS chip, please post it here.

Default LED Position Indicator

So I just installed my chip and am loving it! The only down side I can see would be not knowing the position of the dial.

Concerne:
Wife (or another driver) jumps in my truck, doesn't know or remember the positions that the dial should be in, and drives it as is. (i.e. Quiet)

Solutions:
1. Post-it note beside it (my ride may not be perfect, but it is not ghetto)

2. Nicely done label or something of that nature (. . . getting there)

3. Light Emitting Diode (LED) position indicator with a position discription (now we're talking)

Needless to say I want to go with #3.


So here is the purpose of the post:
Has anyone else done this? If so, could they help a man out? If not, how does the electrical side of the chip work.

I know that there are 7 wires going to the dial. One is a ground, and the other 6 go the the position that you want to run. I was going to just tap into these and run it straight to my LEDs. When I tested the contacts, I noticed a potential problem. If I am running position 4, then all the other contacts are running a 5 volt current, while number 4 is at 0 volts. I plan on fixing this problem by using some relays. This WILL work just fine in theory, as long as the chip is not looking for a specific volt/amp reading. (I will change it a little bit because I will be adding a load (relay) to the circuite.)

So, does anyone think this will alter the chips performance? The load will be very small. I really want a 6 LED system to tell me what position the dial is in.

Thanks in advance.
