Yes, this is a good write-up. A couple of thoughts:

1) The driver's seat does not need to be removed. I don't know if I saved any time by working around the seat, but I did manage to route the harness through the console with the seat in place.

2) I do not recommend using the "fuse socket" method; I tried this, and was not happy whatsoever with the retention of the device in the factory fuse block (it is extremely easy to dislodge it). The splice-in method is much more robust IMO, and it's still easy to bypass the BAP if necessary by pulling the BAS fuse and re-inserting the standard FPCM fuse into its original location.

Thank you gentlemen for helping out our fellow ZL-1 owner.
Ted.

Good points and I agree on both of them. I just removed the side and back panel on the center console and fished the connector under the carpet through the side of the console. I also used the splice method with the included connectors.

Install took a while as I took my time. Ted @ JRE helped a ton with providing a wiring diagram. I called JMS had purchased a throttle switch as I didn't like the hobs switch set up.

Overall it works great and the car runs like a scared cat out of hell. lol

I would much rather have the throttle switch as well. I thought that was the default setup for this system though...?

Does anyone have a photo on where they sliced in close to the FPCM? Thanks in advance.

About 2-3 inches from the FPCM is best.

You will splice in to the red/white wire.

I spliced into the FPCM +12V lead where it exits from the trunk-mounted fuse block.
