Blackbeauty's OT Mystery Mod: Revealed!!!

**Blackbeauty** · 03-31-2009, 09:04 AM

I've been on the WhoreTour '09 so it was a bit tough to get time to post up pics and stuff... But I'm home now so for all those wondering what the infamous Mystery Mod was that was unveiled at OT, here it is:

Can anyone see a difference between these photos?

That's right... I had tech12volts install the '08 LIGHTED STEERING WHEEL AUDIO/CRUISE CONTROL SWITCHES in my '06 Titan. And just to preempt any requests for a "how-to" on this, trust me, it's NOT plug-n-play. Tech can attest to this. I have to say though, the knowledge he has of Nissan wiring and electronics in general is just amazing. I watched silently (which was exceptionally difficult for me

) as he unplugged connector after connector, tested, ran outside to think, came back, tested some more, ran wires, tested, thought, tested... It was like watching an evil scientist try to cook up a plot to take over the world!

Anyway, here are some more pics:

Testing connections:

The old '06 audio control on the left and the new '08 lighted audio control installed:

The old '06 cruise control on the right and the new '08 lighted cruise control installed:

A final note: Everything worked perfectly with absolutely no glitches or hiccups afterwards. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, beats a top notch professional installation. Thanks Tech! For everything!

Best part is, it's not really something that was necessary.... but a mod is a mod... and this one is SUPER COOL, IMO!

So far, AFAIK, my truck is the only one with this option.... At least the only one that's not an '08 or newer!

When he says this is not plug and play he is not kidding. there are no wires in the 06 harness for lights. and yes its wires and they work off the dimmer. it took a little thinking and some wire probing and it would have been nice to have an 08 next to me to look at but i figured it out in about 30 minutes. i honestly did not think i could make it work when i first looked at it.
