Yep saw that post. The column shifter is smooth because it's not mechanically connected to the transmission. It's just a fancy electronic shifter with a motor the moves back to P if the door is opened or vehicle is turned off.
I ordered the connector to plug into the Column Shifter module from...
I did the swap on my XLT. It is not plug and play and is not a trivial swap. You have to add wiring between the passenger and driver seat as well as add communication wires up to the dash. You'll then have to use forscan to code the seats in and swap out the HVAC buttons for heated and cooled seats.
I ended doing continuity tests checks all the way back to the BCM and everything checked out. The BCM was simply not turning on the 12V to enable the handle. I went back through the forscan coding tables and realized I missed the entry for the passenger side door.
FR_CapSensor_CFG (FRCSC)...
I got the ICE control panel to work on the lightning. Heated steering wheel, Ventilated / heated seat buttons as well as the HVAC. M Not sure if I’m allowed to post the forscan configuration file here… PM me and I’ll send it to you
Yes I did it for both sides. The driver side is working. The passenger side is not. I tried the scope feature and the passenger side never shows a trigger for either lock or unlock so it's probably the pinout. I'll have to get back in there to verify 12V, GND, and the two differential antenna wires.
Life got super busy and this project was set aside. I finally picked it back up today.
I installed the wires from the salvaged harness that ZSC100 sent to connect the door handles.
I flashed the firmware using the beta software and the files linked by ZSC100 at the beginning of this...
All right got my install all wrapped up and working with the exception of the HVAC control panel. It hasn't come in yet.
Here are some quick pointers to anyone else that attempts this...
C212 (where you can easily tap into the vehicle's communication system) is directly behind the glove box...
I got a set of black lariat seats for my install. Made some progress on the install today. The seats came with the vehicle side pigtail. I de-pinned the necessary wires, extended them, and started the transplant.
need to take a pick and pop out the white retaining piece.
once that is...
Lol. What’s the PAWS delete? I was wondering what that thing was!
The mailman decided to drop off the China connectors just now! Whooo… now to start the install.
Thank you Zach! Got your harness in yesterday. Took the tape off and unpinned the connectors...
The plan is to use the twisted pair wires for the ANT signal and single ended wires for GND / PWR. Ordered some cloth tape to wrap it all back up.
I believe I found the connectors on aliexpress...
Awesome progress! Does anyone happen to know of part number for the C543 female pigtail or the part numbers for the pins that would insert into the C511 male connector?
PM me if anyone interested in donating / selling me their old door harness so I could try to make my own.
I'm a 5/19/21 reservationist that placed a deposit within the first hour of the launch event that never got an invite to order a 2022 model.
Apparently, this is because I reside in a state that is not ZEV (GA) resulting in low allocations for the state and because my dealer probably prioritized...
made my reservation on 5/19 immediately after the presentation at 10:11 PM EST. I received no wave invites and the no more 22 models email. There's plenty of other people in my shoes. Sucks
