I tried out my new heated jacket for the first time last eve.....the on/off switch sucks!! It really needs a variable control...HD makes one for $48us (20% off), but I don't want to give them more money to make their product work as it should ( I'm thinking there is a theme developing here!), so, I look and find this product...and it can be 'dash mounted'...

Single Mounted Heat-troller Coax is the one I'm interested in.

Looks like a good idea...anyone try/ have one of these.

Get the wireless dual controller. You'll grow into it and be glad you made the investment. Got one last year and very pleased I did.

I stuck one on my machine and use it all the time. I really like being able to quickly tweak the heat up or down as needed. The wireless controller would be much less of a PITA, but you would have to remember where you put it. My memory is still pretty damn good, but it’s really short.

It appears that the controller goes in the heated jacket's pocket....not so convenient for on-the-go adjustments?

Look again, the receiver goes in the jacket pocket. The controller is bluetooth wireless and can go anywhere within a few feet of the receiver. On your dash, tank bag, wrist, wherever. I have one, they are very slick.

What kimd of battery life are you getting?

[Buy early]

Haven't replaced one yet. Probably have 40 hours of active use.

That wireless unit is SLICK! It sure beats the tangle of cords I deal with.  So while the liner still plugs into the battery, there is no wire from the harness to the controler. I like that. I may hold out to see if it comes to the bike show it LA at a discount price.

Are you using this wireless controller with Gerbing heated gear?  Any issues with it thus far?

JC, yes I am. I have the Gerbing Microwire G3 gloves and the Gerbing heated jacket liner. No problems at all.

Thank you.....looks like something we're going to have to get. 

I called Gerbing today and asked them if they have any plans of a wireless controller.  Surprisingly, they told me it hasn't been a consideration.  When I asked about other brands of wireless controllers working with their products he told me he wasn't aware of a wireless controller for heated gear.     Now that was the person who answered the phone and not necessarily somebody from the Gerbing family.

Thanks JC! Looks like Kandy is gonna get mine when these come out.

[dayne66]

I glad to have held out and not gotten a controller yet...usually the one I really want comes out almost immediately after the one I settled on is considered used.
