No problem. I just got my harness installed and besides having to flip upside down (and get some crazy looks in the parking deck) to get under the steering wheel, the installation is a breeze and a relief.

I have to admit, I got claustrophobic for a few seconds when I backed in under there head first, but I settled in nicely once I began fighting the factory clip connector

Yes, helps if you are very bendy.

All the connectors for the AV units and Screen are from the same family of connectors so I've been told I make it look easy. Basically use my nail to hold the clip down and wiggle (that is the technical term I believe)

So I dont want to be Debbie Downer here, but if it is a "legal" requirement and your car gets stolen and the insurance company realizes that you made this mod (i.e. maybe the car gets recovered) would this really be a good idea? I'm probably just being paranoid and thinking of a another con to all the pros presented here. Maybe something to consider?

Received mine today! Thanks.

Ack...

I have been inactive on the forms of late... but glad I stumbled across this!

Putting an order for the harness in today!

I cant say enough thanks to the developer of this item. Well done! Nice professional alternative to pulling the fuse if you are not comfortable with that option. At least there are options!

I went the cheap route and pulled the fuse (an easy job, but not for the faint of heart), but it is nice to have an option. It looks like it is a well-constructed unit (and buyer reviews confirm this). The security "feature" is nice - I've been thinking that using one/both of the seat heater switches might work but haven't checked the wiring diagrams to see if it will work. If any problems crop up with the fuse-removal method, I'll be buying the harness.

Check the parts for sale sight on occasion maybe one will come up for sale! No matter the route taken this problem is no longer a concern. Frustrating the GTR folks had a recall and we dont. Absurd!

Where can I get one of these quick? Can I get the car to start by simply pulling the fuse and if so, where is it?
The car is in the local Nissan dealer now and they are supposed to be ordering the parts in the morning...

You're sunk if the steering lock has already failed.
