CPFlight radio modules

[frazer]

Does anyone know if the CPFlight radio modules and fire-panel can be used without connecting them to the MCP?
I have an MCP, but I want the backlight to be controllable separately from the MCP for the radios and fire-panel. Also, it seems like for example the lights test gets slower for every unit you connect to the 737MCP.

Can't you use a blackbox board for this purpose. Not sure if it will let you control the MCP and radios independently though.
