So i followed the above and installed the microswitch at the shifter. Only bit i can add to this thread that i had to use spacers below the switch to raise it of the plastic as the switch was hard up

There is no way you will be able to stall up a 3071 unless you open up the torque converter stator. That said, it should feel better with the wire cut still. I assume you are tapping the pink/blue ec

Thanks leon. With the reverse lights where did you tap into it from. i found the harness under the driverside roof baby harness clip. The red wire with 2 silver stripes.

Geez mate, now your testing my memory, lol.

I think initially I had to go digging up top like you, near the high mount stop light. I ran a wire down the passenger side & in behind the side panel where my TV tuner is. I used this to power the reverse camera as well as switch the display input.

Then, more recently, I connected into this same wire for the Pin55 reset, so didn't actually see the reverse light wire as such. I could look at the manual to see what colour it should be, but pretty easy for you to test it by probing it with a pin.

Hey guys I might have a solution that's a bit easier than running wire from rear camera. I only did the brake wire cut today so ill have to wait till the engine light comes on to test it properly.

Months back I installed some LED strips to light the footwells and I powered them from the key barrel ring light which must be triggered by door switch/module. I haven't got my multimeter on me but I'm pretty sure it's a 12v feed as the lights needed that supply, so I was thinking piggy back that wire to the pink/blue brake ecu side and every time I'm chucking the kids in the car/loading groceries/driving with my doors open, that should reset the light automatically. And it's easy to run just across bottom of dash.

So ill wait till warning comes on to see if it will work and will post results. Cheers mates.

Hey Dave, sounds perfect since you've already found that wire.

Of course that will preclude you from launching with the door open for that fully sic Youtube video :w00t:

Hi all,

Got to test out my setup today, ECL came on in morning and I hooked the wire up to my interior light circuit to see what would happen. Light cleared after about 3 seconds, happy as.

So to anyone wanting a relatively easy way to do this mod and make it automatically reset itself, carry out the following:

Run a wire from the positive side of the ignition key light (ring) - easy to access just pull off a few trims, run it down behind stereo area (straightened coat hanger helps to feed through) across under glovebox to ecu side pink/blue wire.

Job done.

*NOTE: This mod will only work successfully if you occasionally have your car running with the doors open. Also it may still bring the light on over long distance drives, so not perfect but just another way of doing things. Cheers!

      Surprisingly the D6000 is only $1999, I'm waiting for the BF/CM sales, and hoping to get one cheaper. D4000 is well priced, still outperforms the 13" SVS PB-3000 and is like 1/2 the price at $1699 RRP. I do watch a fair amount of movies, and listen to EDM, jazz, symphonies, etc. so the lower notes from a subwoofer are always appreciated. The front 8" stage, just doesn't provide you with lively feeling, even though they are pretty bassy for a pair of large bookshelves. Then again, these days it's just playing Wiggles, Blippi and Ms Rachel, another reason the 3m wide cabinet exists, to hide all the audio gear behind it. They used to sit on a nice pair of stands, but as you know, they make good baby traps too.

      Granted, which is a solid reason why I don't have one. My floorstanders are only -2 dB at 22 Hz.  So they're still working down to <20 Hz. Which is no doubt part of the reason why my receiver shits the bed! That Tonewinner would be about double the cost though, so it's not apples and apples. There aren't many AU$1300 subs (that you can buy prebuilt, I'm ignoring what can be achieved by DIYing) that compete.

      -6dB at 22Hz isn't that great, watch the data from the D6000 from REW

      I'll just leave this here. https://www.adelaidespeakers.com/subwoofers.html TL loading, big power. They sound awesome. This is what I would buy if I was going to try to take the bass away from my floorstanders. Just go with the 12".

      I'll snap up some photos when I'm back home, in the office today meeting my "in the office" quota. Have 2x Teams calls scheduled in, office culture they reckon.   I've never owned a proper off the shelf sub, I've always made or modified broken ones with Jaycar plate amps and/or car subwoofer drivers. The current (and broken) subwoofer has a proper home driver in it, Dayton driver, thos one https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/118/rss265hf-4-10-reference-hf-subwoofer-4-ohm FS of 25Hz, which is low but not low enough. Yeah, I think they were brought out to the market to compete with SVS. I would love a SVS PB-3000 but they're not cheap, especially after their price hike. From reviews online, it does look like the Tonewinner D6000 would destroy and with good amount of money saved too.
