Dual Mode Exhaust Switch

Is there a way to hardwire a switch to control the dual mode exhaust on a 2013 Grand Sport?

There are several kits available, or a few people have made their own.

Most of them control the exhaust by using an extra fob, or some button (DIC or Homelink) that's already in the car.

I didn't like those ideas, so bought a kit that installs a small button switch on the dead pedal, like the old time headlight dimmers. After 4 yrs/55k miles, I wouldn't change it.

Mine came from a now-banned vendor, but the quality was good. You could try Google, or PM me and I'll send you the name.

I had the performance shop doing my blower install relocate my M2W from the dead pedal to an F55 ride control switch in the center console. I don't have F55 from the factory but like the looks of it and thought it would be cool to have, especially if it could serve a purpose.

Tour = exhaust closed
Sport = exhaust open

Search is your friend (look for instructions), but for less than $20, I did exactly what I wanted from the factory:

Put a switch on the dead pedal. No fumbling for a button in the glove box or some remote that's God knows where in the car. Keep your eyes on the roa a tap it with your foot. Just my opinion.
