What npp controller works with a 2012 base 4lt
I've seen multiple posts about certain wireless npp controllers not working in newer vettes. What model will work with a 12' I guess it has to be compatible with the home link?

Not sure what you mean by not working ?
Are u talking about a factory installed npp or bimode or a system that was installed later
I just put npp mufflers on my 2010 coupe and used NPP in a box and it works great

Car is stock. Factory npp. I've pulled the fuse and it stays open as it should and run it with it installed and it works.
I want one of the controllers so I can switch it on and off but I've seen that the home link in the newer vettes is incompatible

Just wire up a old school foot switch in the dead pedal. Kind of like the days gone by headlight dimmer switch. I never have grasped the idea of fumbling around with a remote, also something else to loose.
To your point, I do not recall the remote style not working with a remote switch in newer cars.

No matter how fancy the NPP controller is, all it doing is either letting current through the NPP fuse location or not (same as you pulling the fuse, or plugging it back in).

If you want the type that have the remotes, then here, but will still need to add a circuit, a barrel connector, crimp on male space and round wire connector as well.
Red wire goes to the add a circut with the barrel connector to pull power to the unit from the seat heater fuse bank,
White wire plugs back in at the NPP fuse location on the left hand side with a male spade connector, without a fuse in that location.
Black wire gets connect ground with a crimp on round connector.
Second photo from the bottom, which will start the car with the NPP off (like you pulled the fuse), and you just press the remote switch to put the NPP system back in normal mode instead.

As for mating the visor buttons to the remote to use the visor buttons, not going to work, since the car-2-u programing in the visor control is not comparable with the remotes (not just this system, but many others as well.)
Note, the old home like units did not have this problem in the older cars.
