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.

I cut the stock wire, no need to be on the list.

any ill effects?

None. I was going to get the harness being fabbed up, but would of been so pissed if my car went dead waiting for it. I'm at 38k.

smart! :tup: taking action before crap happens. :)

Question for BDL99: Are you going to do a continuity check on each wire in each harness to be sure there are no cold solders or bad pin connections before sending the harnesses out ? I'd just like to be sure that the harness is good before connecting it and having something not work.
Thanks

thanks bro :tup:

gotchu99--

Just to make sure, you cut the wire while the car was in ACC??

Yes, just like all my kits, every kit will be tested before sending. I have a computer based cable tester that checks every pin and looks for shorts and checks correct pinouts etc. This is a very simply harness, so I don't expect any failures but everything will be tested none the less.

Yes, just follow Fritz's directions. Put car in acc, unplug the harness, cut the brown wire to the right of the yellow wire. If you are looking at the back of the plug when its removed the brown wire is in the right corner. just shine a light on it if its hard to see the color. There are 2 black wires below it. Tape the cut ends, and plug back in.

Do you have an expected turn around time before you will actually be able to take orders and have these sent out? Just a guesstimate would be fine. Like 2 weeks, or more like 2 months? Bc I would much rather have the harness but I too have an 09 that the warranty just ran out this month and I am debating just cutting the wire out of fear.

I will be posting more details later today, but I expect to open it up for orders later today and expect to ship within 2 weeks. The first batch will be 25-30 units and I will set stock accordingly. There is a chance that I may be able to ship a few earlier and will ship in the same order as the orders are placed.

Group buy update:

Steering lock plug and play harness should be ready to ship in approximately two weeks.

Price is confirmed at $50 plus shipping (which is calculated by the website)

The first batch will be for 30 units and therefore I have created an item on the website and set stock to 30. There is a chance that a few may be available earlier and if that happens I will ship in the order that the orders are received.

Paypal sent by hcolba. Thanks for all your effort putting this together!

order placed and paypaled. :tup:

Hi again, I remember you from the camera kit and if I remember correctly you are not to far from me. Let me know if you would be interested in taking a trip to me to get an early unit in exchange for being able to take some pictures and of course a refund on the shipping charge.

Anyone else willing to drive to Princeton area of NJ to take me up on that offer, let me know.

Good man ! I just completed a PayPal transaction for the harness.
Thanks
