I don't know who makes the plugin module because I do my own mods in the code, not with a Range module. But I think it'd be nice if the Range module had a little slide switch on the top that offered a few different options:

- AFM ON
- AFM OFF below 35 mph
- AFM OFF below 66 mph
- AFM OFF

(Or heck even simpler, a rocker switch that just had two positions, AFM OFF and AFM OFF BELOW 65).
So that gives you the option to selectively turn it off in the city but keeping it for the highway, which is how I coded mine up. That lets me drop down to V4 at 75mph and just cruise cheaply.

Thoughts? Would you want it selectable? It'd be trivial for them to do.

afm on - plugged in
afm off- not plugged in
the rest is just an annoyance to fiddle with.

so no, not really useful to me.

davepl

Hmmm... so you can plug it in and out on the fly like a dongle? Like you're driving around and now you're on the highway and want AFM, it's OK to just unplug and replug it when the car is running and ON?

That's indeed about as easy as a switch, but normally electronics things don't like being plugged in and out like that, so I didn't know they supported that! But I guess it's just ALDL.

Thunder22

Where did i say any of that lol by your logic are you going to reach under the dash "while you're on the highway" and constantly move the switch? lol electronically it's the same thing.

davepl

Well I was proposing a method by which you could flip a switch and change the mode on the fly. You acted like "I already got that". I can't read your mind.

Thunder22

You don't have to read my mind, i stated exactly what I was thinking in my first post.

davepl

Just not clearly or articulately in a manner that communicated what you meant. Or with punctuation or capitalization. But yeah, you typed some words, they're right up there for everyone to read. Bored much?

mountainears

Just put in an extension cable with a switch that you can easily reach. Many people did this when the range module was draining the battery. Then you can turn it on / off whenever you feel like it.

Thunder22

wow, so you asked for thoughts, i gave you mine, you didn't like it, so your only response is criticizing punctuation and capitalization? needy much?

oh, and learn how to quote, nice job there quoting yourself instead of me.. (see how ridiculous this has gotten?)

Thunder22

Let me try to explain this to you because you obviously have a reading comprehension issue. I'll even use punctuation and capitalization so that your head doesn't explode.
1) AFM plugged in= on Explanation - it's on, not off.
2) AFM not plugged in = off Explanation- it's off, not on.
3) The rest is just an annoyance to fiddle with - the rest of your idea sucks.

There, I've further explained it for you, but I can't understand it for you, that's on you.

Have a nice day.

BREAKING NEWS: Man on internet questions reading comprehension of another forum member as passive-aggressive intelligence insult. Film at 11.

PS: Why is that people think they can be dicks and then self-exonerate themselves with "Cheers" and a beer glass? A dick is a dick, emoticon or not. Own your actions.

Thunder22

I would explain sarcasm to you but it obviously would be a waste of time.

While we're talking about "owning actions" how about showing some maturity when someone disagrees with you instead of throwing a temper tantrum and getting personal?

davepl

Yeah, you can play with yourself in here while I go and start another thread. But you stay here, please.

Thunder22

I think you peaked with the idea in this thread. Don't waste your time lol

Can't we just all get along please! You wouldn't talk that way to someone standing in a grocery checkout line would you?

GM made the decision for me when they made the "running improvement" to the 6.2 liter motor and eliminated the AFM, permanently, on the ZR1 engine. GM will never admit and state "oop's we F'ed U! Because they don't want to fix 100,000 already-built C7's. But actions speak louder than words: NO AFM on the ZR1.

Let's not make a great devise more complex than it needs to be.
I didn't purchase a C7 to run on 4clys, don't know why anyone would want one to.

I was one that had an older version (had it updated), and bought a switch like this so the unit wouldn't throw any CEL's. With the switch I don't have to worry about messing up the pins in the port plugging/unplugging the thing. The wife says I could tear up an anvil with a claw hammer. I just turn the Range on/off when I want too now. EZPZ

joemessman

How did you fasten your switch? Thanks.
