Re: Paddle Shifter Write-Up

Not sure you want to take just any 12 volt source. I believe the feed from the BCM is a steady 12.0 volt source so the switches hath work on resistance can get a steady 12.0 volt reading no matter the vehicle voltage.

Re: Smog (California Specific)

Yea seem to be seeing a pattern of all the AFM engines are getting ignored when it comes to tune detection. Unless they start doing things like Turning off monitor reporting and such. But a simple DOD turn off seems to get past the tune detection software on the CA smog machine.

Re: Air Conditioning Evaporator Thermal Expansion Valve Tube Product ID: 92285455

Ones on RA might be OEM as well. Our cars not plentiful enough for the aftermarket to make AC hoses.
May also want to replace the high side port while your system is open. The factory ball valves can be problematic:
