Bientot , le cruis rx 8 chez votre concessionnaire !

tinou > on en a parlé l'autre jour avec jean michel

On veut des infos

Nan sérieux, c'est quoi cette histoire?

moi je voudrais d'abord savoir c'est le prix

Voici les boulons pour démonter l'air bag du volant.

Désolé pour la qualité

Vous pouvez voir le passage de cable qui part sous le volant de chaque coté, pour les deux "panel buttons"

Ici on voit bien le fameux fil rouge de la masse qu'il faut récupéré pour insérer dans le nouveau connecteur.

The new switches are Mazda part number F157-66-4MOA

Note that you CAN take the plug apart without destroying it!!..

You mean, controlling audio and cruise?
Your local Mazda dealer is able to provide you this item?

Thanks a lot for the HowTo!

Yes, that part includes both sets of switches... but thank "RX8" as he did it first, and figured out the trick to rotate the rear cover so you don't have to remove the wheel...

I don't know if local dealer can order that part, because I tracked it down through Mazda dealer in Australia, they shipped it from there.

Is that a callsign I see on you avatar?... de G7KWO.

Nice pictures, thanks.

Will soon be helpful as my Cruise Control controls should arrive any day now.

What I need now is a good description, link or photos of how to complete the remaining part of the modification to enable the feature in the PCM... does anyone on here have these details, or links to a good explanation?

Ok, we have ours directly from japanparts.com! And I don't think that local dealers are able to provide this cause they even don't know what a rotary is!

You're right, that's indeed a French ham callsign! The world is really small!

IL MANQUE une auto test !!!!!

Great, that's clear enough...

Use the "Macro" function on your camera to get clearer photos BTW....

Sory for pictures . Thew was done on my garage and it's very difficult to do it with a very little light. It's not a focus problem , the Auto Focus is very bad if the light is too low.

Cheers

Translation for french people BTW is By The Way

It's good enough... and that's what counts... now I have these bloody security bolts to deal with...

Does the ECU need to be lifted, or slid forwards... of it it just a case of lifting the cover and pushing the plug out??
