Currently I'm in the market for a plug in play system for my lancer. Not looking into the ecu piggyback for dealership and warranty issues. So far i know there is a separate harness for the apexi afc II system but does any know if anyone makes a plug in play harness of the lancers or is the lancer evo harness is the same.

 

They don't offer "plug and play" harness for the base Lancers, but I don't know if the Evo harness is the same though. PM Rhyzin, he might know.

 

if you're a 5spd MT, the evo harness will work. the 4spd AUTO has a different ecu pinout and won't work with the evo patch harnesses.

booomslang.us has a harness with the safc harness built into it (they also have one for the emanage) making the safc plug and play for $139. for regular patch harnesses, you could check out machv.com or gruppe-s.com for the "field's harness".

 

is this the harness you are referring to

yeah, that's a normal patch harness.

here's one with a safc harness already attached:

would the one i have a link to work for a base lancer

 

yep.

 

Thanks alot man, Thank you both for your help

 

but this is for the manual lancer right??

as far as the other link...why are you getting that if you are going to splice anyways...is it just in case you wanna go back to stock and stuff like that

thanks

 

yep, this is for manuals only. the boomslang seems the better deal unless you've found a used one. you would just have to remove the patch harness and you're back to stock.

there isn't one for the autos since they have a different ecu harness.

 

So pretty much if you have an automatic, you would need to start splicing wire's

 

yep.

 

You're the man!!! I'vw been thinking that if I get the safc, I'll have to let a shop install for me and will cost me $$$. Btw how come you didn't use the "plug and play" harness when you installed yours?

 

cuz it was more than 2 years ago and the evo wasn't out. i wasn't aware of a 2g dsm patch harness. didn't have the money either. i'm a baller on a budget.

 

Oh yeah sorry, didn't noticed it was 2 years ago. Well I can buy the SAFC easier now, because I was worried about the installation before. Btw, what's the diff. between patch harndess and field harness
