With the Signal Wire Removed (or disconnected through a switch) the Control Module gets no Speed Signal and thinks that the car is going 0 mph. Under that condition, the steering is in Max Boost Mode.

Won't work. The Speed Signal is a Pulse Train with the Frequency varying with the Speed (NOT a Analog Signal).

I have had the switch installed in my car for over 5 years, all you do is splice into the blue wire with an off on rocker switch. If you go to Radio Shack they have a switch for about $3.00 that will fit under the dash on the left side next to the valet switch.

If you look at the photo you can see the switch. With the switch on it operates normally with the switch off you have assist. When driving at low speeds or parking turn the switch on once on the road you can turn it off for less assist. This is a very common mod in the UK. I actually send the switches 6 at a time to a company in the UK for this mod.
