Mag ride switch controls DME
I recently was asked if there was a way to use the magnetic ride switch to control the dual mode exhaust on a 08 C6. After glancing at the schematics and making some on-vehicle voltage checks, I determined it was fairly simple to do. I just finished it today and now when you select SPORT mode on the magnetc ride, it opens the exhaust valves.
You will need a standard 5-pin relay, an in-line fuse, and spade terminals for the relay. No factory wires have to be cut...just one wire has to be tapped in to near the mag ride switch. I took a 10A mini fuse, blew it, shaved off the sides, and soldered my wires to that. This allows me to use the correct size spades to use the in fuse block without damaging the terminals.
Here is the schematic I made for anyone who is interested. All the new wiring are the ones that dont have circuit numbers.
