I couldl be fine with that method.

But I would purchase the connector also. My problem lies with no other person has done this to help me feel better about this isssue. I also wish the OP would post pics.

As others have mentioned minimum order quantities are generally the issue. What sort of demand is there for this? I don't want to make a ton of money here but don't want to be stuck with thousands of connectors either.

Would $50-70 be a reasonable price? I need to confirm the prices and qty of connectors before committing to that. That may seen expensive but the issue is the quantity, if we want 10K I can probably get it down to more like $5
Ok, I have an order already in progress for other connectors so I'm going to add a few samples of the female connector. I'm still aiming for the target prices of $50.

I know it doesn't matter, but what color are the other wires? Does anyone have a photo of the plug showing the wires? I know it is anal but I will make the extension harness with the same colors as the original if I know what color they are.

The suggestion was 8-10in of wire between the plug and socket, with the brown wire there but will probably supply pre-cut. I will offer LMBmikeZ one of the first kits if he wants it because he was the one who contacted me, who else is in on $50 beta units?

Yes, exactly this.^^^ A mass order for plugs is a little premature, some testing/experimenting needs to be done first.

I'll take one, since I can't find the connectors easily I'll be using it for lock removal bypass experiments. If I get it figured out you can make and sell that one too.

I will do the brown wire (pin 1) cut on Saturday to confirm Fritz's findings.

Maybe I'm missing something, but hasn't the testing already been done by a couple of folks and by physically cutting the wire?

I haven't placed a mass order for plugs, I have added a few connectors to an existing order. I'm going to make three and go from there.
