Field notes
The installation is described as using the car’s existing connector without cutting or splicing its wiring harness. The page lists engine-computer families for compatibility and says the replacement has an automotive power supply with an energy reserve for engine cranking. Several additional data pages and alerts are presented as ideas for later software updates, rather than as confirmed current functions.
