Default alltrax SR DIY personality switch?

Does anyone know if the alltrax personality switch for the alltrax SR series is just a potentiometer?
I am looking to put a built in DIY solution into my new dash and since its just a 2 wire hookup I assume its some sort of pot setup? just wondering if anyone can confirm with a multi-meter or documentation that might steer me in the right direction. It looks as if I can create and have the choice of two user modes with just a simple switch?

It is not a pot. It is a + power switch that tells the controller to toggle between 2 user set modes. These modes can have different speed limits, thottle rates, reverse speeds, amperage limits etc. Hope this helps

It's a great option for those who have teenagers that want to "hop on and take a ride".

Ok just seemed strange that it looks like a knob with multiple settings or is this thing something else entirely? https://www.ebay.com/itm/27309883438...Bk9SR-jeoryyYQ

So my goal is to create 3 modes if possible one normal, one for torque and one for speed. I can deal with 2 modes if thats all a regular switch will give me.

Guess I should read through the documentation again.

The SR Series control is capable of 2 modes via any user supplied toggle switch as described above.
The XCT sepex control is compatible with a FN-Key device which allows the user to pre-set 3 driving modes. And my favorite FN2 = speed and regen brake in-dash dial controls

So with that linked FN know I would only get two modes as well?

What controller are you asking about?
The FN1 you linked to on eBay is a potentiometer type speed dial ... not a mode switch. You can have that or the user supplied toggle to switch between 2 modes but not both.

Also more modern in-dash models are available of all FN devices vs the stick on fall off model you linked to to

Ok this is what im asking about. So I can either add a potentiometer and have more adjust-ability of speed only or I can actually switch between two completely different user profiles with just a regular switch but not both.
I have a drawer full of potentiometers for a cleaner in dash install and id rather not pay $100 for something I already have which is why I asked because its not all that clear to me in the operators manual. I believe im better off with the switch though
I have an sr72500 on series yamaha cart im converting to 48v lifepo4 and a solar roof
