mart010 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Does anyone have experience or thoughts on integrating an electrical control box. Something that makes the fuse box and part of the relay unnecessary? As an example. In the motorbike community you have these systems that replace a large part of the old wiring harness: https://www.caferacerwebshop.com/en/motogadget-m-unit-blue-smartphone-new.html It also adds some extra features, like an alarm.

Escape Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I wouldn't, more features is just more to go wrong and if it's not standard it's often a lot more difficult to troubleshoot and fix if/when things go wrong. Just my humble opinion of course. 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Anything's doable and a Series is a pretty simple wiring loom (about as simple as it gets), but I'm with Escape on this one - and I have no idea why I'd need/want to control any part of my Series from a bluetooth connection. Adding an alarm but giving it bluetooth so thieves can find it & disable it with an app doesn't appeal to me. A solid-state relay box is something I considered (I do electronics / PCB's for a living) when re-wiring my 109 but field repairability goes out of the window compared to just finding a spare fuse or relay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daan Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I drive a series so I won't have to deal with electronics; Don't spoil it! Daan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
