PTT duetsch connector for cup cars to Speedcom
so i have a nice digital harness for my digital base radio. its not that old, a few months. anyway, moving it over to the cup car which has that integrated PTT cable, and on the end is a 4 pin detsch connector.
and my speedcom harness has the more standard round silver connector for PTT.
anyone know if there is only a premade connector piece to connect those?
and while talking PTT harness....is the PTT a two wire or 3 wire thing?
i guess i could just create a conector , and make it work.
but if someone has it pre-done, why burn time...

I just went thru this several months ago, but with a 997 GT3-R...your previous GT3-R. 
The PTT in a 997 R is 2 wires, and a 2 pin Deutsch Connector comes off the harness.
If the 991 is a 4 pin connector now I'm not sure what help I can be, but I can tell you the guys at Racing Radios in Atlanta knew exactly what I needed to get my PTT switch on the wheel working properly with my 3-pin harness. They built an adapter in a day and it cost me $70-80.
Ask for Riley Thornton

gracias.
the other new learned piece of the puzzle....beyond motec->Cosworth.... wtf happened to AMB Transponders.. iwent up there is like when you used to owna nice copy of MS Word on 19 machines...now you have Office365 subscription based crap.
so annoying...and their website just sucks. i have 2 transponders from years ago with results from wherever the transponder owners went to race...
i cant believe that company has a lock on the transponder market and no one else can figure out how to broadcast on that signal and come up with a competitive product. its a bit of a, well, monopoly, no? where's government oversight where its really needed...<G>

More like they own the train and the tracks. The equipment that reads the data is AMB at the tracks. So tracks have an investment in them and Im sure they there is some proprietary piece that keeps others out of the market for just the vehicle side. Some new marketing person came along and said Subscription going forward was the way to maximize profitability. So yearly revenue streams going forward on each unit instead of a one time buy and it is good for the next 30 years...
