Looking like I can ship a full kit for around £34, so around £16 cheaper than Kufatec  :smiley:

And myself if it's easy to wire up to the ABS sensor! Can't wait for the write up Steve :)

I was wondering why the lead was so long. I see you answered it in your original post. I will wake up later  :grin:

Here's a bit more detail.

Basically it can be installed without cutting any wires you only need to run one wire from the swtich up to the ABS controller behind the battery.

The other connections can all be taken from the ESP swtich and using a combo of pre-made wires and a couple of connector housing it will look something like this: -

Wires taken out of the ESP switch into another connector housing



New loom reconnected to ESP swtich to "pick-up" the required power/signal's



All complete and looking OEM (other than I only had black cable ties and OEM fit is clear)

Also mocked up the glovebox install today, that works just the same just with a longer cable and a more involved install, as the glovebox needs to be removed.

Steve

How do you get the cable to the ABS controller behind the battery?

Is there a grommets/access point in the bulkhead?

Thanks

^^^ Yep there is a grommit behind the ABS controller that go through the bulkhead to glovebox area.

It will be covered in my guide  :smiley:

Thanks Steve

Do you need a different switch (cover) to place it on the RHS as it has 2 rounded corners rather than all 4 squared off?

If you are doing a few sets would you put me down for one please (with 2 rounded corners!)

thanks
Adrian
