Is nobody interested in this now after I got the connectors and pins?

Coop · 06-09-2010, 06:33 PM

You havent said how much they r Darth.

Hupperware · 06-09-2010, 07:00 PM

I'm interested... but I would be more interested in a "non-invasive" approach... I could just T-Tap, but...

Darth Martel · 06-09-2010, 08:30 PM

The reason I haven't posted a price is because I'm not really sure how the mods feel about posting pricing for stuff like this. It's not a mass marketed thing so, not sure it would fall under the sponsored seller thing or not and I don't want to get myself in hot water. With that being said, I'll throw a price out there and if the mods disapprove then I hope they understand I'm just trying to provide a service and not trying to get rich off of doing stuff like this. For ten dead Washingtons I will send one of these out. Hupperware, I can research a more non-invasive approach but, it will require more time, effort, and legwork on my part which raises the cost. Keep in mind this is for simply TWO wires going into a connector. The non-invasive approach consists of a passthru harness that simply taps into the 2 wires needed to get 12V and GND. The cost of the two wires and the connector to the homelink isn't that big of a concern. The passthru part of the harness would be. Just doesn't seem worth it to me for what is essentially 2 wires.

Anyone know the model number of Homelink for the Gray interior?

Thanks!

Darth Martel · 06-10-2010, 10:53 AM

I don't think they have different colors but, I could be wrong.

Hupperware... I started an inquiry into getting those connectors. I will let you know if I can get them or not. It will be next week sometime.

Darth Martel · 06-17-2010, 10:14 PM

Just giving an update. I put in a request for the connectors earlier this week. I haven't heard back from the manufacturer so, I have no idea if they've been shipped out or if my request has just been blown off. I tried calling the rep today and the guy didn't return my phone call. So, at the moment, I'm in a holding pattern for a perfectly invasive solution for this. As it stands, I have 2 copies of the crimp splice solution ready to ship out to anybody that wants them.

well I was interested in adding the homelink buttons, but then I saw the price for them. I'll stick with the remote clipped to my visor.

I just stuck mine up there with double sided mounting tape to the place where the homelink should be. We'll see how long it stays.

Good news is it was free if it doesn't work out.

I couldn't find the answer to this? can you get just the module with out the whole console? or is there a similar console that you can use?

Good news folks... I FINALLY got the connectors from the manufacturer that I requested. They aren't the exact connectors but, they will work with some slight modification. I should have a non-invasive solution to this in a few days. It will be plug n play... no cutting or crimping involved.

When I get it finalized, I will post a pic.

And yes, it sometimes takes this long to get parts from these manufacturers. That's why it costs a few extra bucks to make these things. There's a lot of legwork involved in making a harness like this.
