haha the illuminated gearstick is another sexy mod to come =P Zippyracing have sent no reply RE shipping so i ordered one off partbox. They only need to process my order now (hopefully by tomorrow) =)

where can you get the illuminated gearstick from? any one have any pics of this?

Ford UK - £40 shipping .. not worth it
Ford Malta - 55EUR in all ...but out of stock
zippyracing - do not ship to malta
Partbox - £15 shipping .. placed an order, not yet head from them


=(((((

finally orderedddddddd. will take some pics when it's here and fitted =)

umm.... does nyone know how to connect it so that the LED stays on even after you stich switch on the car?

how many connections are on the bottom of the button? i assume theres 3. 1 positive, 1 earth and 1 illumination? if only 2 connections then you prob cant due to fact once you press the button and the car starts that cuts power to the button?

there are 4 pins in all

This may help

im guessing that 2 pins are earth and two positive? one would be positive for the light and 1 earth for the light and the other 2 positive and earth for staring the car? i assume if you solder all 4 pins to just the two ignition wires thats what causes the light to go out once the car is running??

do you really need a relay for this as it just connects onto the exsisting wires and does the same job just without turning the key for a 3rd time?

apparently (from other forums) the ford button is designed to handle the current.

As it stands, the guide Diego posted should be fine for your mk6. My diagram would be a good alternative for older models which use the barrel to directly switch the starter system rather than via an electronic module.

Apparently the relay is only needed for older models, but i might just do it so as to be safe.

hmm i might give this ago aswell ?

i would encourage you to do so, you can also wait for me to do it if you want to be safe and have some reference. i'd be happy to help.

awesome cheers mate !

awwwright i got the button. I know the drill, get to work, post the pics =P
