So now I can do this mod and wait to do the Mylink upgrade. Yah

This is what I did before to install Mylink.

Thanks for the write up DWALEX!!!

Does the BCM send a (-) or (+) signal to the lock motor to lock/unlock the doors? If it sends a (-) signal, would it be possible to do all the wiring inside the door without going through the door connector?

Send(-), I tried but doesn't work very well, because is more than that but anyway I'll review

[CamaroLS]

How much for the 2 connectors and pins? How long did it take once ordered? Did you use 18 AWG?

I might be picking up 2014 panels tomorrow. May do this.

Got my wire and connectors in the mail today for this mod. Like DWALEX said at the start you need to make a small mod to Conectors tyco (2) #1379029. Here is a couple of pictures of the mod you need to make. Simply cut the notch off smooth and the connector slides in and clips into place.

At the request of some members.
I'll post why is not very feasible the wiring directly to the actuator:

OK. the BCM monitors the voltage level of the door lock and unlock signal circuits.
when the central door lock switch is in the open position, the voltage level in
the signal circuit will be 12 volts. when the central door lock switch is pressed
to the lock or unlock position, a signal will be sent to the BCM requesting a lock or unlock command.

the BCM, upon receipt of a lock or unlock signal, will supply battery voltage to the door lock actuator
lock or unlock control circuits. since the opposite side of the lock actuator is connected to ground through
the other lock actuator control circuit, the doors will then lock or unlock as commanded.
