I searched for quite a while with no luck.

Maybe he can point us in the direction for sourcing plugs?

I would pay 500 for the damn harness, as it would prevent me from going through potentially multiple locks...

Okay maybe not 500 but still...


this may be able to go directly to the gtr...so it might be more profitable then he thinks.

A harness needs to be under $100.00 Closer to $50 would be better. Otherwise when my warranty runs out I'll just cut the brown wire and live without the lock feature. If someone is going to steal the car they are going to get around the lock anyway.

This is the connector we need to make this go, the closest I have come is sourcing from outside the USA at the thousands of pieces to place an order.

Find some of these, the rest is fairly easy...
