    Bought one of your harnesses about a year ago, it’s worked great. I’m now looking to add a tap for some additional reverse lights, what do you think would be the best way to do that without ruining all the waterproofing you did when you designed this?
    I don’t have depinning tools, just regular crimping tools, but am ok buying new tools if needed.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    A custom DIR with aux tap is possible as a custom order but I wouldn't bother modifying it yourself unless you had all the tools and parts already, in which case you wouldn't be asking.

    I'd go with something like the hitchpod s1 harness for aux reverse output if that's what you're after.

    The hitchpod harness looks perfect. Much less complicated than what I was considering.
    Thanks!

    I have the hitchpod/harness (work/scene) along with the DIR. It's a great combo!
