Any results with this installed on a Si coupe?

I really want it done and the only practical way I can think of right now is put VSA in that socket and get a Sedan door plate and wire mirror controls to it instead. Ugh.

i think the mirror controlls are more important than a start button.

I don't have my mirror controls plugged and its been about a month. Haven't had any reason to mess with the side mirrors. Its not something you really use. I already have the location where they will go just haven't had the time to set it up..

if you have a meter and know how to use one this is what you do.....
-pull the dash off under you steering column
-find orange wire with your steering column wires(this is your first accessory line)
-if you cant find that one you can use the red line(this is your second accessory line)
-once you have found the wire..... with a pair of strippers carefully pull the wires jacket back so you have expossed a few centimeters of wire without cutting the wire.
-know set your meter to dc current
-know ground the black probe comming from the meter...make sure you found a good ground , in a location so you dont have to hold it because in the next couple steps you will need both hands.
-know with the red lead from the meter you are going to hold it to the bare wire
-know this is why you need both hands....while holding the probe to the bare wire grab your keys and put it into your ignition.....turn it over to the first click
-if you are testing the orange line your meter should have read 12 volts as soon as turned to the first click
-if you are testing the red line it should turn 12 volts on the second click
-if it reads nothing first check and make sure you have a proper ground as well as a solid connection at the wire...
-if your meter continues to read nothing check to see if there is duplicate oranges and/or red wires and test those.
-This proscess will help you in finding and comfirming the right wire
-hope this helps let me know if you have any questions.

what ever you do....do not go to your fuse block i have seen bad things happen when people do that....under your steering wheel column will be the safest....

Cool.

So did you do ACC1 (Orange) or ACC2 (Red) from the Steering?

Does your LED light up always, or only when you have Headlights on?

just put it in, so i might not quite remember correctly. but, i think it comes on with the key in the ignition....and when the parking lights and then headlights come on.

but not all the time. and not when the alarm/remote is triggered.
