I may not be able to make that happen. The more I think about it,
the IR or RF options have their own set of problems. The hard-
wired, wheel-mounted switch works fine in race cars because they
never have to go more than one turn lock-to-lock or so, therefore
don't have to worry about the cable tangling. Other option I just
thought about is to put the switch on the column, on the left side,
with a paddle that's wide enough to keep my finger on it while I'm
making a mild turn. If I need to make larger steering inputs, I can
stop talking and concentrate on not hitting someone...
What about taking an idea from the NOS guys? They usually put the
switch for nitrous on the shifter handle, in the thumb position. Kinda
like a fire button on a fighter's control stick...
