| Accessing the ECU Harness |
Watch the videos below to learn how easy it is to install the pin into the ECU
harness. The last video shows you how to remove a pin in-case you installed
one in the wrong location or you are tapping onto an existing wire and need to
heat shrink the connection (see last video).

| Mounting Suggestions |
Once you have made or purchased your harness, you need to decide on where to
install the LED indicator and the on/off switch. Be sure to give yourself enough
wire to reach just about any location in the nearby vicinity of the drivers seat in
case you decide to install either in a different location than you originally intended.
Here are the two locations I used and they are very discrete and easy to access
while driving.

I decided to mount the on/off switch inside the map pocket below the radio bezel.
It is easily removable and only secured with the two mounting screws visible in
the photo to the right. I chose this location on the panel because it was well
within reach from the drivers seat and there wasn't any interference behind the
panel where the body of the switch would get tucked away. Be sure to check your
clearances behind any panel you decide to mount the switch. All that is required
is a 1/4" drilled hole.

I mounted the LED on the same panel because of its ease of removal and it isn't
in the DIRECT line of sight. You don't want this LED blazing in your eye constantly
while driving. This location points the LED slightly downward while still doing a
GREAT job of visually showing you when the ALT MAPS are activated. I chose a
120mcd brightness LED after trying 10 different brightness LEDS and this is the
least over-bearing at night while still being completely visible during a bright day.
To install, just drill a 1/4" hole and insert the LED Holder from the front of the
panel. Snap the LED in from the backside into the LED holder and you're done.
TIP: To ensure the LED holder will stay firmly flush with the panel, apply a drop of
super glue to the backside of the panel where it makes contact with the side of
the LED holder. Don't glue your hands together kids.

To make life a lot easier, I made this video that shows you how to gain
access to your ECU wiring harness. Once you have access to the
ECU harness, refer to the diagrams above to find the pinout locations
where you need to install the new pin you crimped onto the wire..
