TOD controller - knob, wheel, or buttons?

We've come up with a simpler idea, it's going to be a 6 position dial, all the way left is off, one click, is "simulated Two wheel drive" next click 25% front, next 50%, next 75%, next 100% or (50/50 split between front and rear, "true 4 hi"

The dial will just require you to drill a small hole where ever you'd like to mount it, and then attach a nut and knob. You'll still have to install the small TOD Override box under your seat, and splice in several wires.

Your position on the knob will also be indicated on your TOD Christmas Tree. First click, no bars, second 1 bar, third 2, fourth 3, fifth 4 (there are four lights correct?)

Sorry it's taking so long, If I knew what I was doing I'd have it done, and if my brother bought a Vehicross he'd probably have it done the first night, but since he doesn't have anything driving him ('cept me) it's taking a bit longer.

Rich, that is so cool you guys are taking this over - I was so ansy to have this mod when mbeach first mentioned it! It's good to know there is still hope. Tell Justin (if that is the brother doing this) that since I spotted his H3 over so many obstacles, we can call it even IF he finishes by December! :bwgy:

Make it 3 selections, then.

("Off" means normal ToD operation, right?)

Correct So it'll be 5 Posltion

1: OFF (TOD operates as normal)
2: 0% (simulated 2WD) | No lights
3: 33% | 1 Bar on dash
4: 66% | 2 Bars on Dash
5: 100% (50/50 split standard 4hi) | 3 Bars on dash

Unfortunately not Justin... It's my older Brother, with a family, a business of his own, as well as working for another company. I'll keep prodding him :D We'll see how receptive he is.

Is it possible when (or should I say "if", considering how long this has been a topic) that the TOD controller could be used as a dedicated TOD controller for a possible 5-speed swap?

As I understand it, the TOD controller gets feedback from the ABS system which reverts the TOD to the minimum torque transfer during ABS braking. I'm not sure why this is desired or necessary, but would this TOD controller allow for such behavior?

I don't think the unit will work with a 5 speed swap, but I'm not sure... All we're doing is emulating the signals that are sent to the TOD unit, making it think it needs to send "X" power to the front wheels. We're not manipulating any input signals, only sending our own output signals. If that makes sense.

So maybe it's possible... I don't know.

Hey guys are you still working on this development? well sounds great so count me in aswell!! If not i will be soon starting on my own desighn.

Shawn, I believe this one died once again. I bet richie will fill you in on all of his discoveries if you want to take the task on. And I'd be interested in buying one if you complete it.

But with a cover like in an attack plane to prevent accidental changing

i will be working on something, but i dont know wat it will require yet so maybe the prior people who workned on this will hand over the desighn or the parts they allready know will work, then it will be much easier as a starting point if not i have lot of research till i can get this to work but will try my best

Also i like the attack plane idea very much!

Well it doesnt look like its gonna be awhile b4 this one so maybe someone else will tackle it?

What happend to this? I am going to make something simmilar soon....

Ha ha ha. R.I.P. TOD controller Mod thread. Heck I just want a button to turn it on and off. Since we don't have "winter" down here in Fla I thought maybe I could make that button shut it on or off????

yep its easy...do a search for it...
