Q - Can I use the Shift
Beeper on other cars or will it only work on the S2000? A - The standard Shift Beeper will work on any 4, 6, 8, or 10-cylinder engine that has a digital tachometer signal. Generally any car with electronic fuel injection and an ECM or ECU will provide a digital tach signal, so that covers a lot of cars. The Shift Beeper should NOT be used on older cars with distributor/points/coil type ignition systems, as it could damage the Shift Beeper module. | |

Q - Can I use a light or
different sounder with the Shift Beeper? A - Absolutely. I encourage users to try different indicators and see what works best for them. You can use any 12v DC device that draws less than 1/2 amp of current (500 milliamps). | |

Q - Can I mount the
Shift Beeper module anywhere I want? A - Not quite. Do NOT mount it in the engine compartment or anyplace that will get wet or disgustingly hot or cold. Anywhere in the interior or under the dash should be fine. You can extend the wiring as necessary. The module draws less than one amp so 18 gauge wire is sufficient for power, and 22 gauge for everything else. | |

Q - I have
trouble hearing the beeper, what can I do? A - That's not likely to happen with the new, louder beeper, but if you're running open exhaust you might have trouble hearing the beeper. In that case you have some options: 1. Either move the beeper closer to the driver or install a second or louder beeper. 2. Install a light instead. It will still provide the 3 equally-spaced pacing flashes so you can time your shift perfectly. |
