Would be interested how you wire up the split charge...... I’m toying with using the tow electrics to trickle charge and maintain ..... still in the fag packet stage !

Just going to use a simple VSR relay. Had on in my D3 without issue. Hardest part is getting the cable to the boot but even that’s not to difficult D4 MY15 SE TECH

All appears to be sorted. Looks like I just needed to add some fuel. Had a test run/burn last night and got the following texts without any fault codes

Latest mod almost done. Fitted a Land Rover Passion D4 switch panel. Hopefully my switches will turn up soon.

Thanks everyone
Got them from eBay. Just search 12v latching push button switch and they’ll come up.
Unfortunately I’m going away for two weeks on Friday so won’t be able to wire them up before then. Fortunately I’m going in the disco so will be taking my tools to sort it all out when away
Thinking of running a Cat5 cable to them as they will be switching some relays so no load at all really, plus I’ve got loads of the stuff D4 MY15 SE TECH

One of the switches wired up. This one controls the grill lights. Happy with it so far

nice
Is there room to get the connector plug on the back Andy or have you had to use single connectors or solder? Did you go the cat 5 and relay route in the end?D4 HSE Lux MY16 Club Waitomo

Not sure if you’d get the connector plug in to be honest. I’ve used crimps and just got it to fit. Haven’t wired the top and bottom switch yet but I think the crimps will fouls on the trim underneath the panel. Looking at it though I think you could cut it way without compromising the centre console if you ever put it back to standard. The bit that would be cut away I think would only be used for a LHD vehicle for the EPB switch, but will investigate a bit further. The grill lights came with a wiring loom from Lazer so I’ve used that but will be using CAT5 cable and relays for the other switches. That will all be fed from the split charge system when I finally get round to fitting it.
Hope all that makes sense
