    Looks like we might have found a workaround after all. We'll see if it works...

    Ok, so after the we build enough modules to fill the current orders, looks like we'll have enough circuit boards for 5 more. I might do a group buy to get the exact right amount ordered if we have enough demand.

    It's plug and play. Look at the pic in post 11 and you'll see the gray connectors that go in between the wire and switch. The red covered leads go to the cigarette lighter. Also plug and play. Just unplug power from the adapter and plug in the module. There's also instructions included.

    I guess I was more wondering how to easily get to the plugs in the back, looks like it would take quite a bit of dissably to get to it.

    i have had mine since the 2nd run from @messo. amazing how many naysayers there are on this forum that say ECT makes no difference.
    it is obviously night and day difference.
