Vishnu Map Switching With a Button or Switch?

I tried to ask them directly through PM's, but I am assuming Shiv gets quite a lot of those.

Alright so here are the two questions...

1) Is there any possible way that we could set up a switch that connects up to the procede unit that we could run into the car, which essentially would change maps while the car is on?

I love the idea of these tunes...but the fact that I have to turn my car off to turn off a tune is frustrating. What if I am on the stock tune and all of a sudden want to play...I then have to stop, turn my car off and change maps.

2) How many of you would be willing to pay an extra $50 or something for this sort of feature?

I am sure this cant be too hard I know HPF did this with the E46 M3 that you could change maps and start using meth with the turn of a key. I am pretty sure that active autowerke did something similar as well.

with the procede you can switch maps by holding up or down the cruise control stalk. up for going to higher number maps viceversa.

if you don't have cruise control you can change by double cliking the DTC button

You don't have to turn anything off. You can switch maps as you drive.

It usually helps to do some research before asking these types of questions... this is one of the oldest options on the procede and other piggy backs.

I actually did do research...apparently I misread some of the information. My mistake.

I still think however that it would be pretty amazing to have some sort of a switch installed...like a switch with 5 different buttons or 3 different buttons that you could set up for different maps. The cruise control stalk just doesnt seem as fun. Anyways I am getting procede in the week so I guess I will see how I like it. I will finally be past the 1200 mile break in period next week sometime.
