bdl99- i dont like dangling wire down there. this is the only reason why i asked. if one wants to wire a switch, i suppose they can do that while the harness is out of the car (pre-wire the switch with more wire they get on their own) and mount it somewhere. :)

You can expect me to pick one up when they become available :tup:

I understand, but I'm only going to make one version, so if everyone agrees for shorter then I will. I just cant be making different version, it is hardly worth it as it is and multiple SKUs for such a small volume unit is just not worth it.

Perhaps one of the beta guys can comment or better still post a picture because 8in is hardly going to be dangling.

that's understandable! :tup:

and yah, i can always zip tie it so it's not a huge deal, but just wanted something that isn't too long.

I would just cut and solider the add on harness, done and done :tup:

In my case this was a non-issue. The wire curled up and sat right on top of the plastic panel below the steering wheel. The factory wire comes from the left of the car then bends back sharply to plug into the right side of the lock unit. When you add the harness in, the lock unit and the plug from the original harness hold the new harness in place. The pieces of that OEM connector cannot move too far apart, there's no slack in the wire, hence the reason for the harness.

A small zip tie or two would secure the add-on harness just fine. I plan to do that but didn't, it was raining and I was just testing the harness. Now that it has passed the test, I'll look at it and see if it needs any extra securing. As it is, it cannot be seen down there due to resting on top of the panel under the steering wheel. In my opinion - whatever that's worth - I'd say the length of wire is just right.

I agree, it was very easy to just put a twist and a loop in the wire and it stayed well out of the way. If it was much shorter I think it could get quite awkward given how tight the OEM harness is zip tied.

:tup:

yep.

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

yes. put the harness on, turn the car to ACC, make sure the wheel is unlocked and cut 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)

it throw the same error as if the lock failed.
