Adding a remote to an XTM winch

[Mc4by]

Can it be done?
Has anyone done it?
Adding a remote to a winch that didn't come with one.
In this case an XTM winch is available brand new for half price, but no remote.

I think the addition is straight forward. the ones on ebay are reasonably documented. I have 3 remotes collected over the years but never installed. I simply prefer the cable connection - no batteries to go flat or be flat when i want to use it. I extended the cables on both my winches 10m to ensure I can be well out of the firing line and this works well.

I've never done an XTM but the couple of brands I have mod'd have all been straight forward altho the WARN 9000 family don't have a lot of room in the relay box so are a tight squeeze

Does warn offer remote option for this model? If so, then it might just be a tight fit perhaps?

Haven't checked for ages but genuine Warn used to be well over $100

Fleabay generics are $20

Can't justify the warn unit based on the simplicity of the ebay one. Have you bought the ebay one? If not I have 3 sitting here and happy to post you one for free!

Thanks for the feedback on this.
Looks like I will go ahead and give this a try.

Just read back over this thread and realised I didn't stipulate 'wireless' remote. It has the wired hand held remote.

No worries... That it what I assumed (that you want to add a wireless remote)... and replied accordingly.
Ebay wireless options are about $20
