A while back I bought a gently used Racepak G2X. These seems like a simple task to install: connect power, ground, and an RPM wire…done. Well, I suppose it could be done that way. But, I want to be able to turn it on and off without starting the car. That requires a switch, and an unswitched wire. In addition, while I was in the dash wiring things up, I figured I might as well pre-wire for the other bits I plan to add to the car: Camera, and cool shirt. I plan on making the cool shirt flow adjustable, so I need an on/off plus an adjust. Finally, in order to synchronize data and video you need to have a signal in both. I plan on hooking up steering/throttle/brake sensors to the G2X, so I’m going to hook up a light to the brake switch and put it in view of the camera. I don’t need or want this light flashing all the time. Once I’ve provided a good sync to the video and data, the light can be switched off. So, one more switch. That makes 5 switches.
