This is one way to go but it does not solve my main issue. In fact it
makes it worse. I want to be able to easily hook up to any 2.1 Vanagon
or Syncro for testing purposes. At least with the Digitool harness on
the ECU I can do this by moving ECUs. With it soldered to the vehicle
wiring harness, no way. For someone who does not care about testing more
than his own vehicle, your approach makes more sense.
