    Want to convert 12 volt brake light signal into switch output for ipod remote

    I've been doing some research on this for awhile, and since I intend to use this on a motorcycle, I want to keep as simple as possible.

    I plan on using an "ijet" wireless remote for this. The remote is a simple pushbutton remote control. I'm assuming I will be able to solder to the play/pause button on the inside.

    What I am wondering is what would be the easiest way to translate the 12 volt brake light circuit into a switched connection on the remote's play/pause button? The net effect I'm trying to achieve is that the play/pause button will be engaged when the brake light is on, and then be engaged again when the brake light is switched off. I'd like to know if I'll need a complex arduino-based setup for something like this, or if it can be done with simpler circuit design.

    Thanks much for any ideas!

    tiny 12v relay.
    or an opto-isolator and a 1k resistor.

      The play /pause button on the iJet remote is a momentary switch button (you push the button then it make contact and when you release the button the the contact then goes open), right? Pictures of this remote?
      What happen if you hold the button in, will it stay in pause and when you release will it go into play or you have to toggle the sw again to make it goes into play?

        wow, thanks for the quick reply there bud.

        Yes, I'm sure it will be a momentary. I have several ipod remotes, and that's how they work. I haven't yet purchased the ijet I intend to use, but here is a picture from ebay:

        I don't know enough about opto isolators to understand how i could rig it to hit the switch when the brake light turns on, and again when it turns off.

          Just do the holding down button to see how it reacts, to me that button has to be toggled twice, once to make it goes into PAUSE, then another push again to make it goes into PLAY.
          Using simple signal form brake switch to turn the Opto on will only produce one toggling signal.

            DeLonghi AC Remote only accepts 3V
            by cstout
            Hello all, I've been looking into this portable air conditioner's remote control and can't find what could be causing the problem - or possibly this remote is just terribly designed.

            The remote only works at exactly 3V - if I drop it any lower, using my bench power supply, to say, 2.9V then the remote will not flash the display and turn off. I don't have any AAA batteries that are exactly 1.5V each so I'm not sure if this remote is designed this way - to only use the freshest possible batteries, or if there's a failed component in the mix.

            I can't find any schematics...

            Toshiba 50lf711u20 fire tv remote not pairing
            by Mc_Millian
            Hello everyone,

            I was wondering if anyone could help my in pairing a remote with a Toshiba fire tv?
            The Tv model number is: 50lf711u20 Rev B.


            I've already replaced all the the circuit boards within the tv along with the I.R. sensor receiver.

            I've tried 3 different remotes which should be fully compatible with this TV.


            Oddly enough. A few if the buttons on all of the remotes actually work. Even without pairing...which makes no sense.

            The power button, along with the volume,back,select, and directional...

            HiSense 55A7500F won't obbey to remote after power on
            by edugimeno
            Hi! I have this TV set that does the following:
            1) I press the red power button on the remote
            2) The TV turns on normally
            3) After that it won't take any other command from the remote, neither power off, volume, channel, NOTHING
            4) We need to either pull the main cable or use the built in button at the bottom to select funcion OFF

            Then after it's off, it would again accept the TURN ON from the remote and same again

            BUT:
            -The remote does show the correct IR beam while observed thru a phone camera
            -The TV works fine while using the MiRemote...
