I had to make some significant hardware changes to make a 12vdc output, so I'll need to make some new circuit boards. I can't imagine more then 4-5 people wanting this though, there simply arn't many people who want to brake boost.

I've done a bit more testing and found that if you completely remove the brake signal from the ECU it will throw a brake switch code. The car is still drivable, but the cruise control is disabled until you reset the code.
Other then that, I'm waiting on sflg35 to test them on NA vehicles.

With the way KP has this worked out, I don't think you'll lose cruise either. I'm wondering how this compares with the "yaw power signal cut mod" under the shifter area. Other than SLIP/VDC lights not coming on that is.
KP, any thoughts?

Asked me what I was up to and said I was on a buisness trip, had the lap top bag and black berry on the seat. He proceeded to test my window with which was 26% on the meter. Gives me a verbal and tells me they are looking for narcotics mules, asks me if I have any narcotics, no sir! Okay have good day. Let me roll on. Didnt notice my Bell STI in the sunglass holder cubby, still on and all. G35 Sedan w/ 19" Volks = narcotics mule
Matt.. what is that sig all about? you said you wern't going to mod the G
When the module is installed properly you won't get any codes, so it won't disable cruise control. I simply wanted to see what would happen if you cut the wire completely (SES and no cruise).
Other then that, this mod only allows you to brake torque and brake boost. It won't disable VDC at all, so if you 'cut' the wire to the YAW sensor you may still want to do that, although I've never had a problem simply hitting the VDC Off button.

It is unclear to me that cutting the YAW sensor will definitely allow brake boosting and brake torque launching...
Your mod will allow the VDC to be engaged while allowing brake torque launches and boosting. I'm wondering if this combo will actually improve 60' times vs disabling both. Well someone will hopefully report back w/ the best config soon...
