Description
The push-button ignition on ND Miatas adds a lot of convenience but does have a drawback. When you press the button to shut off the engine, it also shuts off the accessory circuit as well. That will interrupt anything on the infotainment system (radio, Bluetooth calling, etc.) and requires the start/stop button to be pressed again, plus a little time before you are back to having those systems powered back on.
This clever power controller from MX5things keeps the accessory circuit powered after shutting off the engine up until either the driver side door is opened or 10 minutes after the engine has been shut off if the driver's door remains shut. The 10 minute auto shutdown ensures the battery will not drain down.
Plug and play, and fully reversible. No cutting of any wires. No programming required.
On RF Miatas that have the MX5things RF roof controller installed, this controller also allows you to put RF top up or down by using your key fobs.

Ignore the printed instructions, watch the youtube view. Really fast if you know what you're doing. Hardest part is slipping in the flat head to release the plug.
Seems to work well with the window and roof controller, though there is sometimes a delay with the roof operation via key fob.
I purchased the ACC/IG power controller to use in conjunction with the roof controller and window controller. I am super happy with its functionality. Here’s an installation tip I came up with today, which might be helpful for people like me who struggle with wriggling under the steering column. Since I haven’t yet seen other people install it this way, I’m passing along what worked for me: I placed a mirror on the floor of the car and was able to install the controller by looking at its reflection, obviating having to contort my body beyond my ability. Hope this strategy is helpful for others out there!
Works great, most people go in from the bottom, what I found is the top and took me less then 10 minutes.
Great addition to Roof controller for key fob control. Hard to install until you find out own technique. I loosened panels around the steering wheel for more clearance. You can go from the top instead of being upside down too.
