External Switches: Let Your Custom Side Shine

The external switches on the KOS-V1000 and KOS-V500 are a great opportunity to show off your custom skills. These switches are a trigger that must be properly wired to an external relay for powering electrical devices. The external switch has 100 steps. On position 1, it will send a 500 ms pulse. With each step after the first pulse, the length increases 200 ms. For instance, if you have the pulse set to position 3, then the pulse length is 900 ms or almost one second.

The CarPortal™ KOS-V1000 is a great solution for customers with classic cars. This 1968 Firebird has a state-of-the art A/V system and the dash board remains in tact.
