SLS Remote

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I ordered one of these.

DC12V 2CH Channel Wireless Remote Control Switch System | eBay

It arrived last week, and after hooking it up to 12 volts and the running the multimeter over it I was happy that it would work. I installed it last night, and yes, it works a treat.

I believe that this overall set up is better than just the LR remote because if the remote fails, or batteries go flat, I can still operate it from my switch on the dash.

The total cost of this was $70, better than LR's $300.

Another successful install, thank you all for the answers provided and Dave Pye for the part.
As an aside, the pickup tool from hardware store worth its value in gold (previous attempt with the CB wiring install was a lot more challenging)

Are you going to add the remote like I did?

Yes, I will. I got it it will be the next step. Did you get any instructions with the remote unit as it is not clear to me where to connect the wires? One of the jumpers was off and I am waiting or assistance from the ebay seller. Please see picture attached. Would you be in a position to provide some guidance please?

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask more questions if you wish, happy to help.

You will want to connect the + terminal to a supply that provides power only when ignition is on, and obviously the - terminal to earth. I found a female slot in the fuse box for the positive. Can take a pic if you can't find it.

The white coil of wire is the antenna. I found that by uncoiling it and running it outside of the unit, the range was increased.

Thank you very much for the information provided. I will act on it in the near future. Did you also experience the loose jumper inside the remote unit and played around with the exact position until you got it right?
Cheers,

No loose jumper in mine. Not even sure what you are referring to.

The jumper I am referring to is located in the top right hand corner of the photo I had posted earlier, lying loose next to the circuit board. Right next to it, on the circuit board there is room to place the jumper on.
Cheers,
