I've done some searching, and the 'freakishly simple' idea I had was too simple -- no way it will work.
NO WAY!!!

Yeah, I think that unless Bryan comes up with something looking at the diagram, I'm going to do the window switch relay deal like this:
2 normally open relays tapped in to the window switch. One for the speed sensor, one for the ebrake. This would make the whole setup work just like factory whenever the window switch is on (ie - passenger window can operate). To bypass the whole system, you need to intentionally turn off the window switch. Once off, you're free to operate the top! All of that and your window switch still works as always.
Of course, all of this still depends on what Bryan is thinking of...

[B]I guess you are wanting the window switch to control the "bypass" function so the safety features are not permanently bypassed?
OK, I'm a pessimist, and experience in my line of work makes me automatically think of ways for things to go wrong and how to build in safeguards.
The problem with using the window switch is two-fold.

The timeout idea, while good, seems a little complicated for my tastes. I'd be fine with just connecting the passender window on/off switch to the e-brake and speed safeties to turn them off. What do you guys think? That seems like a lot less cutting and installing to do. I'd also like it to appear fairly stock upon examination by a honda tech :wink: :wink:
