Timely post, first morning with the heated gear. Paulcb said it best, the wireless setup is just convenient. The little two knob wireless controller sits on the top of the clutch master cylinder, velcro and a tether, just in case. Has two AAA batteries that last a season. The only wire connected to me, or exposed, is the single power plug to the wireless controller receiver in the pocket of the heated jacket. Two channels on that, running the gloves and jacket on separate controls. I love it, works great. I'm assuming if you have a wired controller, and more than one channel, then you have more than one wire? They also make a version of the wireless controller that can be hardwired, needs no batteries. Very convenient, hop on bike, plug in one plug, and ride.I'm still confused - do you still have two wires to the jacket liner - one for the jacket, one for the gloves (my liners have separate plugs for that)?
My 'wired' controller plugs into a 'BMW' plug beside the clutch reservoir and then the two wires run from the controller to my gear.
And my 'controller' hangs on a bracket dual-locked to the top of the clutch reservoir where it is easy to reach and see.
Plenty easy to remove at any time and I am only running one 'wire' from the fuse block to the plug, which I presume you still have to do with the wireless one. Not trying to be a smart aleck, just trying to see the advantage and if I want to go there.
