I suspect i know the answer to this but just checking anyway.... It looks like the Raptor wheel also has the HSW switch on the wheel....any ideas if this switch also go through the comms bus (since normally the HSW switch is on the center screen) or is it hardwired?

I know the hazard switch goes through the CAN Bus, I suspect the hill descent control does too.

Edit: I take that back, the effect of the HDC is probably broadcast over the CAN, but the input is most likely a direct input. Forscan should tell you if you go into the sensors and try to activate it.

Nice! Did you paint the whole wheel black or is that just shadowed lighting? Can you post a new zoomed out shot?

Just the stripe was painted, the lighting is wonky in the picture. I'll try and grab a picture tomorrow in sunlight when it's installed. Waiting for wife to get home from work to take over child-watching duties so I can get this installed tonight and play with some programming.
