Does anyone know how to install a switch to change between two maps? Any help would be appreciated. Thank You.

The autotune will have to be disabled in order to use a switch for two maps. Any on/off toggle or rocker switch should work. When I installed my pcv/autotune I bought the Dynajet switch because of the clean handlebar mounting capabilities. The switch is two wire and plugs into the autotune.
In one position it allows the autotune to sample the exhaust and record trims. In the other position it runs the FI off the map on the pcv. I have been watching the threads on both forums concerning economode mileage and I don't see enough of an increase to bother with two maps. I'll continue to run the setup as is.

I'm in high hopes there will be a Droid app in the future, sure would be nice and a heck of a lot easier to change things up.  "Till then, I'm quite happy with the MAP from Jaime and the Auto tune switched on.  Very consistant feel, regardless of weather.

@SOP
It's my understanding that we are running on the map until we accept the new trims which then becomes the new map. This in effect means the autotune is read only and not affecting current operation. Right? Wrong?

That is my understanding.

Once the tuner is on it starts making trim changes after a set time and only to a level you choose, I want to say the initial setting is %20.  Once you accept the trim changes it in effect becomes another MAP, just remember to add as new, something I didnt do initially.  I now have the MAP from Jaime saved so if I ever have issues I can always switch the tuner off and run from the PCV.  Accepting the trim means the tune is that much closer at startup.  I can alter my MAP for a power setting, or an eco setting, or a combination of both, all without a trip to a dyno.  I just dont get a power number to printout for all us bench racers to drool over, all I have is my butt dyno and sterling ways with words ;)  If I were to do it all over again I would still have the Auto tune installed, 'specially since I will have the ZX14 TBs installed someday ;D
