hope you enjoyed the video heres a list of supply you'll need for the job to make your own led whip. www.amazon.com... www.amazon.com... www.amazon.com...
Awesome video man! 10/10 I appreciate that you didn’t edit it down to a two minute video. You had over 25 minutes of great teaching and I loved ever minute. Subscribed and liked 👍👍
NICE VIDEO, THANKS FOR SHARING, the links ONLY have 3 items, whats missing is the black heavy duty shrink wrap, the rod, the quick disconnect parts. THANKS AGAIN
ONE TIP: it would be easier to pull the rod through the silicone rather than trying to push it and fighting with it if you can figure out how do you pull it through… Anyway, this isn’t what I’m making but it was still very helpful and I wanted to say thank you and possibly offer an idea that would make it even easier! ✌🏻😘
Nice. I also drive semi. Just dedicate your radio on different antenna because the leds will throw off your swr's and possibly fry the finals in your radio.
Very nice, was sitting trying to think how to make my own.. and first thing I thought of was 1/2" thick PVC pipe... found your DYI... Hmmm, may have to make some now. I love the way the lights "dance" instead of just "ON".. Thanks, excellent tutorial!!
Great video DMAX and you sir are a trooper I was reading the comments and everyone asks the same questions over and over and you reply. Good on you man
Best video thanks for explaining question could the power wire be extending and what voltage would it be and can you use one controller for 2 led whips
Your instructions were so awesome. I built two of these over the weekend. They look and work perfect. I have a question on the controller set up. What is the Adjust pixel point method? How do I know how many pixels I have? The instructions say to long press the menu/auto button and then the mode + and mode - to adjust the number of pixel points, then press speed + and speed -, each adjustment 32 pixel points. Any help or assistance with this would be appreciated. Thank you once again.
Thank you. The pixel point adjust how many pixels you have in the line so if you only wanted to light up part of your whip instead of the whole thing you could adjust the number you have.
Great video, thanks for sharing this with us... I have a 5150 and think I might rework it like you have done here. I like all the different light patterns or modes that you have to choose from. Oh! By the way the way your mentioning the lube an so made me laugh 😅.... didn't bother me one bit cause my mind is always in the gutter LMAO so again, thanks for sharing this with us. Thumbs up 👍 you have a new subscriber to your channel.
FYI, That little chip is actually a buck converter which drops the voltage down to 5v for the actual chip. That's its only function. The LED chips themselves all contain their own 'brains', which is what makes them capable of individual addressing.
@@MrRICKDAWG4444 Actually, you are right. I thought these were 2812 lights you were using, but you're using 2811, which are, in fact, controlled by a separate IC. 2812 lights have the circuit within the LED itself. My mistake!
Right, that's what i was thinking. You had me confused for a second i wanna try using the 2812's but i cant seem to get those mini controllers to work with them even tho they say they are compatible.
Great job!! Very informative!! Thank you for sharing the links, too!! Quick question, will this controller cover 'dual' LED whips? Looks like it has a splitter. I apologize if you mentioned it already in the video. THANK YOU!!!
Excellent tutorial, more tools in the box is a good thing. I look forward in learning more from you. When you reach 500 subscribers, maybe a whip giveaway could be in the near future. Very informative, thank you.
Thank you. That's a great idea on the give away if only more people would share my videos to social media platforms i might be able to get to 500 subs. That would be awesome if you could help me out with that.
Can you do a video with the 60 leds per meter I know it’s more expensive but most makers charge 200 plus for those and it’s only like 10 bucks more for the 60led per meter kit. Ip65 same brand you buy.
DMAX909. Best video yet. Extra nerd status and I LOVE IT. Quick question about the plugs tho. Looks like you have it plugged into a wall outlet. do you have a list of the connectors needed for that? I'm going to use my outlet in the back of my truck which works out well. Thanks again my dude, awesome video.
The plugs used in the video are just 5.5 barrel plugs and I'm using a 12volt converter at the wall. So basically you can use any style connector you want on a vehicle since its just a positive and negative 12v wire. I've actually been using a new style 3 pin screw together type connection for whips i make now but you can use practically anything you like. Hope this helps
Made many variations of these over the year 3/8 is too small if you want a good wrap with. No gaps between each wrap. I’d suggest a 3/4 inch base at minimum to keep from breaking connections within the led strips. I’ve had 3/8,1/2, and now I’m going with a 3/4 base. On cut down 5150 day time whips. They were 4 footers but now I cut them done to 2.5 footers. Going to run springs as well. It is more expensive to make them on 3/4 bases but you will save money in the long run and be cheaper than buying. A set of 5150 pre made whips. 🤌🏻
@@eddieaguirre2845 my successful builds have been using 5150 day time whips as bases. and adding wrapping them in vinyl tubing until i get to 3/4 inch. any smaller and the LED connections will start shorting out from the whip flexing. also be sure to use 3:1 shrink wrap on the outside to compress the steps so the silicone doesn't crack.
I think I'ma tackle this project for my quad, couple questions. How do you hook these up to a 12v battery source? I see you have them on a wall outlet, is it as simple as cutting off the wire from the wall outlet and putting on some ring terminals for a battery? And do these LEDs also stay a solid color? My buddies have their whips and they set them to solid colors like white when they want to light up camp or just to have some light while sitting on top of the dunes. Love the video, honestly I gotta say it's the most informative how to I've seen.
They just plug into 12 volt positive and negative on a battery. In the video I'm using a AC/DC converter however it's the same thing i just plug into the wall. I personally tap into the tail lights so when i turn them on the whip comes on. They do all solid colors and smart modes. I'm about to put a new video up on a set of whips i made for subscriber that will show how i sync two of them together with new connector i recommend using.
Awesome video! Subscribed! Are there any rock led pods that would sync with these lights? Could I use the same controller and just splice the pods into it? Thx for any help!!
Yes these controllers will work about 1024 leds i believe, so if you splice all of them it should work but I've never actually tried rock lights b4. Keep me posted on it please.
This was great. Thanks for showing us. I have never heard of a light whip until the last couple of days. I have been trying to figure out how to make one so I can put it on my Mountain bike for when I ride at night. Thanks for the great tutorial, it's much appreciated. I went to Amazon.ca to see how much they were and they were really expensive. Found other people that have done them with a CB Antenna with LED strip lights. I think I am going to go that route and just use RGB lights, not the fancy likes like yours. The hints you gave will help out a lot.
Yes, all you need to do is make sure you order the 5v led strip that's pretty much it. The controllers will work a wide range of volts from like 5v-36v
@@MrRICKDAWG4444 Okay. I was going to get a 5V and then hook up batteries to it. I think that a 9V would be too much. I am thinking maybe 4 AA batteries and then that would be running at 6V I think.
Yes basically that's all I build is paired whips anymore. Ok so instead of putting the controller in the whip you're going to use a 3pin connector coming off of each whip then make a wire harness that splices two leads off of the controller that will go to both whips. I recommend using a sp110e Bluetooth controller for this. Here's a old pic of how my first set looked. imgur.com/gallery/hJDHr6K
I just ordered from the above links. The controller listed either doesn't work with the LED Strip, or they changed it. I contacted the manufacturer and they are sending me new controllers. For the Clear Heat shrink, make sure you specify the right size. I accidently ordered 1/4 inch by mistake. Great video BTW...
I currently use different controllers on whip I make now. I also made a part two video showing if you haven't already saw it. I use the SP110E Bluetooth controller. In that video
They are just air hose fittings however the male side that comes on the 5150 day whip that i start with is custom made by them. There are several different mounting options for whips if you do a Google search you see a few different choices. If you're handy with a welder I'll be posting a video on some magnetic ones that I'm making that use thicker 1/2" buggy whips.
Awesome video man ! So if I wanted to run these whips on a separate zone from all my rock lights & dome lights. Is there a controller that allows the whips to be programmable but also separate zones for the regular RGB lights ?? I’m looking for a Bluetooth controller all in one to keep the install nice and clean but use also super easy.
I'm about to build one using a cb antenna mast, was wondering about how the masts have a spiral wire going up wondering if it would mess up the wrapping process of the led strip
I built my first one from a cb antenna, a firestick specifically alot of big companies do the same.. You will need to remove the shrink wrap and wire coils first and then you will still end up with a weak whip because after you shred everything off you'll find they are pretty small but the most important part is the threads that come on the antenna are made of very cheap metal and will snap at the threads easily with all the added weight of the leds if you're riding aggresive thru bumps. I adhered a male air hose fitting to the bottom on mine for that reason. I highly recommend that you use a strong whip for this project like the 5150 Day whip if you plan on riding hard.
Thanks. Consider subscribing for more cool how to videos. I get all the supplys from amazon most of which are in the video description. Here is the stuff i use. www.amazon.com/Black-Heavy-Adhesive-Lined-Shrink-Tubing/dp/B00NVDFQWU
Hello again. This has been such a tutorial insight on led whips. My question is how can i integrate my turn and stop lights into my whips. I have built 19 whips for our riding group from your video and instructions. I have started using the btf-lighting ws2811 60 leds/m 20 pixels/m 300 leds, and found they do a few more functions than the 150 leds, not sure why? but they look good and are impresive. Thank you.
Nice I'm glad you liked the video. This video was kinda intended for beginners i should really make a second video showing my new style i make that run more power injected leds and integrate with the vehicles Break,reverse, and turn signals and music. However i custom order my new controllers straight out of China so i cannot provide you with a link for them, they also cost alot more than most people wanna pay and they don't do many modes right off the back but you can make your own custom modes with em so that's really cool if you're creative.
I do have a pair I'm making for a customer soon but they are gonna be set up assingle whips for jeeps. I'll try and set up the video showing how you would sync them as well.
Can you show how to do a 6' or 8'? Basically how to make multiple connections? Have you thought about double stacking the light strips to the whip is completely covered in LEDs? Would you be able to link them with 1 controller? That may look INSANE!
I have only ever made 4' and 6' whips however 8' is possible it will just require power injection along the way to keep all the leds at the same brightness. As for your question about about double stacking, it is possible however you can use led strips that have more leds per foot to cover more area of the whip, or as ive done in the past start with a thicker fiberglass whip and the leds will spread out closer together on the whip. However power injection is required for these applications on 6' or greater unless your ok with the top of your whip not being as bright as the rest of it.
To make multiple connection is the same as i did with solder one connection. Just peel back the silicone to expose the terminals, line them up, add flux and solder across the terminals
@@MrRICKDAWG4444 so when you say "power junction" are you meaning another driver or just a junction connecting the strips together? You have the best looking diy whips I've seen and the best step by step video too. Thanks for the response as well. Next time you do a longer or bigger whip could you show us? 🤞👍
Power injection is easy, it just add a fail point in the whip because you would run power and ground wires to the top of your whip before you wrapped them with leds. In most cases you would only need about 5volts at the end of you last string. But the problem you will have is one of those tiny wires breaking from all the flexing of the whip so i try to stay away from power injection on these whips. However if you are ok with your whip running at say 50% brightness which you can set from your remote, you wouldn't need power injection. One thing to note about this is you will only really notice it on full power, all white because that color is using the full power of the whip. Say your just using stacking or other modes that dont use white power injection will probably not be necessary.
Great video....I have a 2017 Polaris RZR XP, how do i connect the controller to 2015-2019 Polaris RZR Tail Light Power Harness for Whip/Brake Light/License Plate Light (this can be found on amazon as it has three wires R, W, B to tie into brake lights to power whips)
@@MrRICKDAWG4444 so you just cut the 2.5mm plug on controller i sent? If so i assume it is a red and black wire that would hook to the red and black on wire harness? The wire harness i sent you also has a white wire which i am not sure what it is for as i just used the red and black to hook up my other lighted whip. Looking fwd to building your whip! :-)
Great video man! I have a question about the power source from the side x side to the controller, do you have a link for the plug that you run to the 12v system I can’t seem to find anything that looks like it would work, tia
After you Made the whip the controller has the barrel plug that you used to connect to the wall adapter. what kind of barrel adapter did you use (or cut up) to mate to the controller barrel Connector to wire into the machine? Thanks
I don't use the barrel plugs anymore they are a fail point. Check out the part two video on my channel where I unsolder that connection and hardwire it.
This is awesome! I want to build one completely from scratch, including the quick release. How sturdy/bendy should the whip itself be and will this damage the wires/LED strip itself when it bends? Also will one control unit control 2 panels?
with the control you used are you able to select one solid color? say i didnt want the leds dancing and changing color. can i select say a purple or orange color and it just stay solid?
I built one of your light sticks last year and lost the remote hand held controller. Will I need to replace the controller on the light stick and get a new hand held remote or cam I just get a remote and get back to having fun? Thanks so much for the info.
This is great video! I just wish you would had linked the male dc connector, the end caps you use, the thick heat shrink you use down by the controller the little details
Thank you. For some reason RU-vid wouldn't let me link as many of the materials used as i wanted so i linked the main one's figuring people could figure it out from there. Basically everything is found on Amazon the dc connection is a 5.5 barrel plug, the shrink is 1.25" 3to1 adhesive wrap and the end caps are 3/8" vacuum caps that come on the daywhips linked in the description. Hope this helps.
DMAX909 while choosing for led lights i noticed there are different options on the link you posted do you know what the difference is? Also the clear tube shrink wrap what size is needed, i just ordered 2 5150 day whips.
Everything used is found on Amazon. Type in 1.25 3to1 adhesive shrink wrap and you should see several different ads for that stuff. It will come in sticks not rolls.
26 minutes of greatness loved this video and im going to make my own thanks to this video🫡 just wonder if you can share with me where do i get that glue activated shrink wrap,thanks for the vid💪
I usually hardwire in place of those 5.5 barrel plugs. They tend to always be a connection issue at some point. Watch the part two video on my page if you haven't already.
Planning to make a RV "Camp Locator LED Whip" and decided to use a 4', 1/2" copper pipe with 3/4" to 1/2" base connector....do you see any issues with this?
This video is so much help! Would you be able to do a video showing how to sync two whips together or how to wire them together if say I wanted one at each tail light but just want to use 1 remote for the two??
I've actually made a video of just that but I've never edited/uploaded it. If you have Facebook i could send you the video in messenger if not it's pretty easy you just set up the whips to a wire harness that contains the controller and spliced to both whips.
One remote works every controller. The video i have is just showing the wire harness i make to sync two whips on one controller shown in the picture above.
Sweet video man. I was wondering on the voltage. The description on amazon for the light strip says nothing over 12 volts. I have a 2018 polaris ranger 1000 and they put out 14v when running. Will it still work fine?
I wouldn't think it would be much of a problem however if it concerns you, you could put a 12 volt voltage regulator inline between the battery and the LEDs for peace of mind.
Ok so i got the lights and have them plugged in the wall. The lights come on seems be in auto mode i guess, doing all different colors. But i can not pair the remote to the lights. I read the directions but nothing is working.
Hey great video. My only question is that is there a way to sync two whips on the same atv to one controller and one wire running all the way to the battery, or would you have to run both to the battery? In that case would the controller pick up both sensors at the same time? Thanks
Awesome video man. Definitely gotta try make my own now. What kind of heat shrink did you use to protect the control module at the bottom of the whip. You mentioned it was a heavy duty heat shrink but didn't mention what brand or where you found it.
Check out the part two video. I believe I put that shrink wrap in the description. Also I don't put the controller in the whips anymore I explaine that more in depth on part two.
The base where you connect it to the vehicle is the most important if you're going to be using it aggressively off road so i generally start with a "5150 day whip" that you can find on chaparral motorsports web site. Ive also taken plain 3/8" fiberglass poles and made my own quick disconnects using air fittings and jb weld to attach one end to the the pole. Hope this helps, if you have any more questions feel free to reach out to me here or on FB and IG.
Yeah once you get ready to wrap the leds have everything ready to work fast. I use a air compressor to blow up the heat shrink like a balloon now. It really helps with sliding it on.
First thanks for the great tutorial. I made my own with the controller that you linked. I'm trying to get them to stay synced with 2 controllers. any helpfult tips. thanks.
Thank you. Ok so if you want to sync the two you need to start with one plugged in, find the mode you like and then power it off with the remote this will save the setting. Unplug the first one and plug in the second one and repeat the process. Now plug both in they should be on the same mode. If the timing is off hold the remote between both whips and press power on the remote to power them off, then press power again so they both come on at the same time.
I did the same parts for my set of whips! and I could never get them to sync! so I just used one controller and split the leads goin to each whip! works awesome!
Awesome video. I used most of your techniques to make mine the same. My only struggle is the top cap. What did you use? I used fiberglass driveway markers for my poles.
Thanks, as for the caps i use the ones that come on the 5150 day whips. I'm sure you could find them with a Google search or maybe just try wrapping up some electrical tape at the top.
These are what you're looking for LGEGE - 3/8", 25 Pcs Black Screw Thread Protectors www.amazon.com/dp/B07HY6FT3G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_LCtMCbYRFERQM however I'm not sure what size your whips are and these are kind of expensive. I would go to a auto parts store and ask for a vacuum cap in your size.
Al Carriere what did you use to mount the driveway pole whips. I was going to go to my local tractor supply and pick up a couple of 3/8 fiberglass fence posts but been trying to figure out a way to mount a threaded end or find a mount just for the rod to slide into and maybe tighten down on.
Thank you again for this video! I have made one now and I have another question. The led lights silicone coating is splitting as soon as I finish wrapping them and beginning to slide the shrink wrap on, do you have a trick to prevent this?
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. As for the silicon on the strip, practice makes perfect. The first one i made also started to split and the only trick i found is to have everything ready to go before you start wrapping and work fast so that it does not have a chance to split before you get the shrink wrap on. I hope this helps for your next build. Feel free to reach out to me with any other questions you have.
This is such an awesome video. Thank you. I have a question. I am going to build five of these for myself and my family members. are the controllers different frequencies, or are the remotes different frequencies? Will all five fight with each other is my question and fear.
No them being together won't effect the mode that they are running however someone messing with a nearby remote will. I found that almost all these remotes work on a likewise frequency and can work other whips in some way or another. If this is a concern they make bluetooth controllers that are a little bigger so you will have to mount the on the vehicle instead of the whip but then you will be able to control them with your phone and also dance with your music playing.
Awesome VIDEO buddy! Thank you for the detailed instructional video DMAX909! Can you update the links to all the parts used to make this whip? Some of the products don't seem to be available anymore. Also if you can get the updated links for the clear and black shrink tubing, LED strips, and any other items I'll need to make this.
I’m curious if you’ve made any from scratch & if so what size diameter is of the whip. Also what’s the best material for the whip. Thanks for your time.
DMAX909 thanks for the great video. I’m a little stuck as far as the quick disconnect part. The only ones I have found are mainly 1/4. Can you let me know what parts to get for either a 3/8 or 1/2 rod? Thank you
i built two 4 foot using all your suggested parts and after about two weeks they suddenly shut off and would flicker if i hit a bump checked all connections and they look fine. tore the whip back down and just touched the strip to power and it lit up in spots. tried the controller to power and nothing. did the controller take a dump on me? if so is their a higher quality bluetooth one to run off my phone that is water proof?
You can make the sp110e Bluetooth controller waterproof but you will have to split it open and incase it in silicone to be waterproof there is a controller out there thats waterproof proff but it is limited on the stuff it can do as far as presets go and it's 5times expensive so I usually use the sp110e. Also Set your whip up so it has a 3pin connector coming off of the whip so you can change controllers without striping the whip down.
@DMAX909 Very informative. Thankyou. Requesting some advice. I have a 10 foot, two piece whip which would require almost 9.3 meters of ws2811, 60 led/meter strip to cover it entirely. I stay in Dubai and the desert drive whips must be longer than usual. A 5 meter strip can cover the lower half of the whip. Question is, when i inject power to the second strip, can i draw the power from the same Dc 12v driver or should i use a separate driver?
I would run separate power and ground wires under the first strip up to the second stip. You could run it from the first power source. Be sure and watch my part two video on my channel
Good tutorial, will try to do one myself. But dude, rule of thumb for using a box cutter/ utility knife is “Never cut towards your thumb.” I honestly expected to see blood or at the very least a bandage.
this was a roll of 150 led's. I know you can get them in 300, so thats twice the led's in the same roll, would you stay away form that or would it be fine. also if I did two of these can they be synced together somehow
It's possible however there is a few factors at play once you close the separation of LEDs by adding more per foot it will start blending colors at a distance and will look way different than one with less LEDs. Most importantly after around 150 LEDs you need to start power injection if you want to run solid whites, without it the whites will fade to amber at the top of string. Hope this helps.
Dude, thanks for posting this video! I have a couple of questions though, what is the size and type of shrink wrap you used before you used the clear 3/4”? Also, the controller looks like it comes with the female end of the plug, what connection is that? I would assume I should be able to buy the male end, and then splice it into the battery?
The black wrap is 1⅛" 3to1 adhesive shrink wrap found on Amazon. The plug you are looking for is referred to as a 5.5 male barrel plug. Hope this helps
Type in 1.25" adhesive shrink wrap and plenty will pop up. Alot of the links in the description have expired and i need to re do them. Ive just been super busy lately and haven't had any time.
The controller i used in the video was not bluetooth capable because the customer wanted more modes. With a bluetooth controller you are limited on modes, however one could use a bluetooth controller in this application but would need to mount it on the vehicle somewhere instead of in the whip because they are a bit bigger.
Thank you for your Comment, You can find the thick shrink wrap on Amazon in shorter pieces but this is what i get in 4ft lengths because i use alot of it.www.amazon.com/Black-Heavy-Adhesive-Lined-Shrink-Tubing/dp/B00NVDFQWU
Thank you for your time to put this video together, I just built one using your info!! I was wondering if you have built one using the 60 LEDs? I'm guessing the additional LEDs would make it harder to wrap?
It really depends what you're looking for and the application it's being used on, the newest chip set is the ws2815 i believe. However with all the benefits of them i didn't like the pattern they run in for whips due to having a IC chip in every led. Also some controllers didn't like running that many IC chips and couldn't light a full 6' whip plus they cost twice as much. At the end of the day if you're not looking to run a single color at its peak abilities like white for example then you can't really beat the ws2811 and the number of LEDs is up to you long as you consider power injection if you plan on running 6' whips.
I'm interested in making my own, but I was curious how you hook it up to the battery and would I be able to attach a 2nd whip to the same controller and I was planning on possibly installing whatever extra lights I have left underneath my radiator relocation bracket
It's super easy. There is only 3 wire in this system 12v positive, ground and data wire from the controller. You can splice two whips on the same controller to sync them. Hope this helps.
@@MrRICKDAWG4444thank you, I'm making 1 completely from scratch would I be able to buy a controller like what comes with the actual whips and I've also read that you would have to beef up the "transponder"? So you can power 2+ whips and extra lights.
I make most of the ones i sell from scratch also. As far as syncing two together i make them differently since i can fit the controller on the vehicle somewhere. One controller can operate 1024 LEDs i believe however if you exceed 150 leds in one whip you will need to start power injection after that if you want to run all white without fading out at the top. Most other colors will not fade out.
@@MrRICKDAWG4444 ok for you reccomend anything for power injection, I'm installing a dry box that the switches will go in to stay dry between the handle bars and radiator relocation... I'd like to have 2 whips on the back and a small strip of lights at the radiator relocation.
I usually just splice into the tail lights for power since it's already fused and has a switch. As for power injection its it's pretty straightforward you just run another power and ground up the whip under the leds and tap it in after the first 150
New to your channel and if you happen to read this do you know where I can still find that kind of whip? I went to 5150 site but they only have a bare whip that's magnetic instead of that air fitting. I dont think I'd trust a magnet to hold up off road...lol.lol I could be wrong but.........GREAT VIDEO AND GLAD I FOUND THIS!
As far as I know the air fitting style is discontinued and you can only get the magnet style fittings these days. However rest assure the new magnet style are almost to strong even stronger than the air fitting style. I promise you will not break it or have it accidentally come out. It's that strong.
@@MrRICKDAWG4444 WOW... cant believe you seen my question AND ANSWERED THIS FAST!!!!! thank you I really appreciate it! Yea I looked into the magnetic base on RU-vid and IT DOES LOOK BEEFY. How has your homemade whip held up? I was looking for a 2 or 3 ft whip for a high powered e-bike for night rides and the 200 dollar price is a little crazy at this time ( 2020 ).... but yours can be done under a 100...EASILY! By the way would you happen to know the wattage/amperage draw on your whip? I'm running this off a external 12v battery not a engine! THANKS AGAIN!!!
@@eddiekytia they are pretty low amperage and somewhere around 77watts per roll (16.5 feet) I've ran a 4 foot whip off of a 9volt battery for a few hours.
So with using that controller and what not listed in the description, how do you go about running two whips to sync and run it to a battery what do I need to do from the plug sticking out the whip? Thank you!!
You could go about it a couple of different ways. The remote will work with both whips so if they are both powered on at the same time changing the modes will change them at the same time. If you manage to get them un synced unplug one and change it to the mode you desire then power off and then turn the power switch off on your car plug the other one back in and you should be all set.
Do I just cut that plug off and hard wire them both to the battery? Or what do I do about the plug in order to run it to the battery? Thanks for your reply man it helps a lot!
Well you could do that if you don't need to remove your whips often or you could just use the male plug that goes to the female plug like these. www.amazon.com/X-group-20pack-Pigtail-Connectors-Surveillance/dp/B0725BCVH1 and just wire them up to the same switch on your car.
