figure out which wires on the afc need to be tapped into which wires on the ecu wiring harness. cut, solder, heat shrink.

I got that harness for mine and it turned a two hour install into about 15 minutes. Worth every penny!

Basically the harness is an extention of your ecu harness and has the Neo cable hooked into it. All you do is unplug your ecu and plug in the boomslang in its place. Its like the definition of plug and play. Make sure you go threw all the setting on the Neo before you start the motor though.

I would recommend the Boomslang harness as well, i have one in my 4th gen, fit perfect, made the install super fast, and if you want to take it out its a simple unplug job, not cutting and soldering etc all over again. Also usefull if you just wanted to temporarily remove it from the car etc. Plus laying down in the footwell to cut and solder, not so fun!
