As for wiring, it looks to be the same color scheme as the prior MY. Shouldn't be too tough. the only question is hooking the upfitter wire, which is now under the hood in the engine bay, to the wire in the cab. I am assuming those four spare wires that run through the firewall are for this purpose.

I would think so. I mean, I'm guessing the intended PTO usage is just as a source voltage for the controller, which is essentially what you'll use it for, electronically. 5 amps is a bit weak, so I wouldn't run anything power hungry off that, but nav units aren't generally power hungry.

As a trigger for the relay, no problem.

Two things...
1. I probably missed it, but could someone tell me which wire I have to wire the SEIC input to? I'm thinking of using an upfitter switch (I know, not a new concept) to raise the idle to around 1250 RPM (10k resistor).
2. If I use one switch with a 10k resistor to raise to 1250RPM, can't I add another 10k resistor to a separate upfitter switch? Parallel circuit to the SEIC input. If I did that, and had both switches on, then the RPM would go to around 1600RPM?
So idle control would look like this:
1 switch ON (either switch), RPM = 1250
2 switches ON, RPM = 1600
RPM numbers are approx, don't beat me up over it. I'm thinking about using this if I ever have to do any heavy winching or jump starting the backhoe. Starting with a 1250RPM, and if I have any indication of struggle, I have another level that I can go to. Has anyone heard of someone doing this? Seems logical to me, but that's often where my trouble starts.
Thanks guys!
