I can't say 100% if it will change with the rest. What I can say is that the new harness came with the center console light already attached. And it is a 4-wire LED.

Ordered the HVAC module and the pigtail for the ambient lighting harness end. I have narrowed it down to 3 possible 20-pin connectors for the HVAC end of the adaptor harness.

Module was $125 the pigtail is $20.

Should have them both tomorrow.

Including the purchases yesterday, the total on the spreadsheet (yes, I am that bad) is $984.28. That doesn't count the purchase of the VCM2 and the software license, but that was purchased more out of convenience rather than need so I wouldn't have to keep going to the dealer for testing.

Nice work! your doing it the right way! These are the type of upgrades I enjoy and gives ford the middle finger for saying it cant be done!

Trust me that IDS/VCM will pay for itself, I know mine does and I use it frequently

ordered the last connector this morning. 3U2Z-14S411-FCA... Hopefully this is the correct one. Should be in tomorrow, that means the install should be this weekend!
