I might have missed it in the thread but, have you decided on a set cost? And when they'll actually be available? I saw you said it was difficult to find them without purchasing in bulk.

Yes, basically.

The brown wire is there, so you can reconnect (putting car back to stock) without having to remove the harness.

Alternatively if you prefer a switch, to be able to effectively cut or join the brown wire at will. You would just attach a toggle switch to the two brown wires on the harness, like so

I'm just waiting on lead time, we were fairly confident that this would work so I had already given the supplier a heads up, so hopefully not as long as normal, but still waiting on the answer. Price is targeted to be $50

I may have missed it but after attaching the harness you turn on car to ACC mode then disconnect the brown wire?

You can actually pre-cut the wire on the harness and dress it appropriately. Just don't disconnect the stock harness connector until the car is in ACC mode and then plug it in.

Just curious, has anyone tried using the car with the S/L unplugged? (after unlocking the steering)
