SO I have a new ECU that has launch control. It uses a button/switch of course. I wanted it on the steering wheel but then decided to go with a clutch switch. Then I realized I want to rev my car sometimes liek when matching revs for downshifting.
So I want it on the wheel again. No tether. I tried a mock up of the tether and it just turned my signals and wipers one with the coiled wire (like a telephone cord).
I've see different models of SWI JACK and still can't find anything other than maybe retrofitting a one wire cruise setup and pissing about with it.
Am I missing a kit that's available for horn and 2 or 3 switches to go through the one wire setup? Reading some resistance values and then dropping a ground? I'm no electronics whiz but I sure wish I was with this stuff.

I bought a normal keypad control unit with a relay board - similar to an alarm control - once you strip out the button and plastic surround it fits easily behind the steering wheel.

Then some nice 16mm push buttons.

Or you could use one of these.

And as you say add some different value resistors through buttons to ground (voltage dividing). The kit has a regulated 5v - wire to analogue input and horn wire and switch relays based on different voltages produced by switching buttons with resistors to ground.
