i've seen it done but don't know how they did it... they had a simple 2-way toggle on the dash for in cab and they also still had their 10' remote line.....
but its not a bad setup.....

On all of our company truck there is an in cab switch as well as the remote. Superwinch sells a kit for their winches and thats what we run, as do I but i have no wish to put a switch in the cab. What type of winch we talking about? Im sure they would all be close to the same, but I only have experience with one brand.

i have a warn , i think it would be nice to have a in cab set up , because my co pilot is usually the one getting wet to hook it up lol and you dont need to hook the remote up unless you really need to , i work the controls from in cab most of the time anyway sooo it just makes sense
