Switchpod

The unit with the buttons for Turbo Boost & Co. comes from Wassim Razzouk from Jordan. The quality could be better, but it was quite cheap. I had to cut some depth, because in 99% of the time, I'm driving with a round steering wheel, which provides less space for the switchpod.
Made of fiberglass

Electronics

We built the electronics ourselves. We used block LEDs and buttons from Reichelt.de and self-designed aluminium overlays.

Installation in the car

MP3 module

When pressing the buttons of the switchpod, various K.I.T.T. audio files are to be played directly.
After two "bad purchases" in 2009 and 2020, I got myself a suitable MP3 module in the fall of 2021, to which you could simply screw the cables for the buttons.
Technical data:
- Memory via Micro-SD card or USB flash drive
- Audio output via 8-ohm speakers (headphone jack)
- Button assignment with 20 individual sounds
Details about the mounted MP3 module

Some of the sound files can additionally be triggered via relay board with remote control, which was simply installed parallel to the buttons in the car. The remote control has 8 buttons and can thus activate the most important sound folders, from each of which several sounds are played randomly. The remote control has a range of up to 200 meters.
