great! I can't wait, I'm def in on group buy as well. Having an 09 I too cross my fingers every time I get in my car and my warranty ran out 05/09/2012!

The harness arrived in the mail today and works perfectly.

Putting it in and cutting the wire might take a total of five minutes. I've had the car over three years and I have to say its strange not hearing that lock noise. Its also very nice not hearing that lock noise. Mine had already failed, and I did not want to go through that again.

Thanks to everyone who contributed.

The 4 kits that I sent out for testing:

My thoughts for the final kits are to make a single kit that will hopefully work for everyone:

Including those male and female terminal on the brown wire means:
- Those who just want to cut the wire can
- Those who want something more easily reversible on rare occasions can just reconnect the male/female terminals
- And finally those wanting a switch can add one easily without needing to solder or crimp anything.

The price will hopefully be the target price of $50 plus USPS priority shipping at $5.15 to continental US.

Looks good

Just curious...Will the wires be loomed or shrink wrapped by chance?

SPOHN 05-16-2012 05:58 AM

Bdl99 just let us know when your ready. Paypal ready.

I didn't on the test units because there is interest in monitoring the other wires to see what else is possible.

For the production units I wasn't planning on looming or adding shrink wrap but could. I would probably use split loom tubing if I do. I am also trying to keep the cost down wherever possible, the tubing isn't expensive but these will all be made by hand so every additional item adds time and therefore cost.
