Pic request - Synergy 2 Dash switch/Questions

ned78 · 23rd February 2010, 11:36

I've got a Drakebox fitted to my auto tourer, and it gives me plenty of power, but also eats diesel like it's going out of fashion. Thinking of getting the Synergy 2 shortly, but I'm also interested in getting the dash switch - the weird thing is that there's no pic of the dash switch on the Synergy site.

Does anyone have one they could kindly post a pic of? And for the Auto Tourer guys, how are you finding mpg since fitting the synergy? I'm getting the late 20's early 30's in mine, but I carry around a lot of extra weight with my SMART repair kit, and would like to get more if I can.

I carry a load of "junk" with me but if I got less than 40MPG I would be panicking.
I have a Custom remap and Synergy box.
Most of my runs (40,000 miles PA) are on Motorways and A Roads though.

Have you checked the temperature you are running at should be 88C this would make a difference if thermostat gone faulty.

When I say a lot of weight, I broke the ramp at my local independent dealer

there ya go went down in the rain!

It has 3 settings, current synergy setting (I have it on ten) and there's a green light on- off and mid power (red light)

Legend thanks Kieran. It's butt ugly though, think I'll be making my own version

I did a job installing switches to isolate my inverter and entertainment/nav system and they look like they came from the factory. I'll do something similar with the synergy too, just need to pick a new location where it'll be suitable.

Thanks again!
