A good remote control for almost any 12V DC application.

I like things like that, but the buttons on the remote control wear out pretty quickly. I use them for Halloween props so they get a lot of use in a month. The primary button's spring action wears out and you won't feel a confirmation click when you press it. It still works well, but you end up pressing the button even harder to make sure you're making contact. Changing the battery is a bit tedious. It takes a small Philips screwdriver to remove the back cover and expose the circuit board andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Hard to say

Exactly what I need.

Perfect. This is exactly what I needed to complete my airborne system. I use it to control the Air Lift suspension solenoids. I also use this to activate my offroad lights. Saves me from using switches on the dashboard. The relays in the box can be set to one click and the other to turn off, or they can be set to momentary. My solenoids are instantaneous and the light turns on/off. It also allows me to scare people with my train horns without being in the truck. The wiring in the diagram isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Poor design

Very good product in electrics and batteries

Very fast delivery of a good product. This 4-channel remote does exactly what it's supposed to do. The remote control has four buttons for controlling four channels individually. The remote also has a small switch on the keychain to lock/unlock the buttons. This feature comes in very handy when using this system as a remote "launch" module (without accidentally "pressing" any buttons). Each channel can be configured as a momentary on or latching off function. I read in other reviews that someโ€ฆ

Great inexpensive solution for my needs

There are some very technical reviews here that cover quite a bit so I won't paraphrase that. I bought this for a marine application where I am using two electric winches to lift a small boat out of the water. I use this remote control box to power a bunch of relays so I don't run a lot of current through this box. With the remote control, I can easily raise or lower the port and starboard winches. Due to the current draw of the winches I was concerned that if I tried to start both motors atโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

A Fix - Pilot Performance 4 Channel Wireless Remote

Does anyone know if the remote works on 433MHz or 315MHz? I want to buy a programmable remote control as the remote control that comes with this device is its Achilles heel. I never got a reply from anyone including the manufacturer which led me to the following email: I could never figure out what frequency the Pilot 4 channel remote ran on so I spent extra money to get a clone Buy remote control that covers all common frequencies.

  • Price
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Inexpensive and works great (if you know how to install it)

I bought a PL-SW29 to remotely control four different auxiliary lights in my car. I had to activate some of them with 12V (+), others with a ground signal (-), and the PL-SW29 can do both without any problems. As many other reviews have mentioned, the instructions on the back are very vague. However, here is the correct wiring guide: RED - 12V (+) PowerA. Connect it to the switched ACC line (accessory) 12V (+) (cigarette lighter, etc.). The PL-SW29 only works when you have the key in theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
