The need to solder onto the ECU is the one aspect of the Digitool that gives
me pause. I gather that the ECU connector to the wiring harness is not very
common, but if one were to find a source for both the male and female
connectors for the ECU, is there any reason a "T" connector wouldn't work
between the ECU and harness? That would bring down the cost of the digitool
considerably, and allow it's use in more troubleshooting situations. Anybody
have info on the connector? I'll do some looking on my extra wiring harness
for any clues on the OEM.
