um, there IS a ebox on a X2... it's just separate into 3 different pieces... The 550 wiring is pretty different; just get a 650ts lanyard face plate and bolt it right on - no wiring needed

TS faceplates are like finding teeth in a hens mouth. You can use the one you have just splice the wires. Make sure you splice them in a spot where water wont get to it.

the splice the wires where? is that to use the 550?

Yes , you have a 550 lanyard on/off switch setup correct? Fasten it to your handlebars and splice it into the X2 on/off wireing. Splice it inside the hull somewhere where it wont get wet.

Just run it right to where the old wires went! Put new ends on the 550 wires and its plug and play. It is very very easy. I run the sxr style on all my skis.

so all i have to do is take the 550 harness for the start stop switch and switch the ends on it to fit it where it goes on teh x2?
