This can be done. Here is a link to another forum where they have done it by purchasing a kit. The kit is just a switch and some wire, with fitting instructions.
If we could find some one here that is an electrical guru to suss this out it would be very easy.
Disco 2 David pye's SLS lowering suspension kit with pictures - Land Rover Zone
The kit has a circuit board fitted between the switch wires and the wires to be connected to the SLABS ecu. The circuit board appears to be fitted with a micro-processor IC and presumably a 5V regulator for the IC so the developer has determined the correct signal requirements and generates the up or down signals when the switch indicates up or down is requested.
Edit: The developer found more info than I could when I tried this - the signal is 12V whereas without a vehicle to test it I only tried 5V to be safe. This kit's pcb needs a more robust method of attaching the wires as they will break at the solder joint after a while unless restrained although strapping the pcb and both lots of wires to something rigid should be sufficient.
Hi everyone!
Glad you've found my kit ;-)
While I'm more than happy to ship them to Aus, I have published all the details of what the kit involves, including code for the ATtiny PIC, etc so you are very welcome to make your own if you'd prefer ;-) I've always been into sharing ideas/designs/code. The PCB design there is designed to use the Arduino Pro Mini, rather than the AtTiny the kit ships with, but the code and principle is the same.
The page with all this info is here :

Hope that's of some interest/help :-)
Regards,
David
After some back and forth email comunications with this poster, I felt that building one of these was beyond my capabilities, so I have placed an order for one.Quote:

Why would one bother to make it oneself if not in the business when he's barely covering the cost of the components?Quote:

No chance of that happening. If I had the remote I would not be purchasing this.Quote:

Hi Graeme,Quote:

So if you install my kit, a up/down fob won't work at all. In order to make the fob work again, you'd need to remove the module and remake the connection between the SLABS ecu and the BCU.
Cheers,

Happy Days.
