Remote ESC disable mod.

[Genesis Device]

That's what I don't get...that's what I was refering to when I said things maybe changed during the 2012 build year?? I can tell you that mine was built in May. And I swear by doing the mod, the car did things that would normally slam my face into the steering wheel from the ESC kicking in. I have to run out and get some gas for the mower now, I'll try it again then shoot you a pm...have a couple more questions/suggestions that might help.

Iirc, this mod didn't work on '12. It works on '13/'14 as advertised.

So what works on the 2012 5.0 then??

looking at the picture above, so it looks there is one extra blue antenna wire coming from the box that is not used as well as the orange?

Sadly, I guess I never read the original post right, because after spending $150.00CDN on the parts from Amazon.ca, this does nothing on the 2012 except for putting the auto parking brake on full, total waste of time and money, my car locked up totally in the driveway and would not move, definitely not a mod for the 2012's

Tried everything in every reply, and NOTHING works in the 2012, why doesn't someone update this forum to include that model year, it was one of the most powerful Gen's they made, and we can't let loose, somebody has to have a mod for this. With my ESC off, I get maybe 5' of spin before the braking kicks in. Pretty sad for a 429hp car by any standards

just got done building mine.

I can't speak for the U.S. models, but it does nothing except apply the auto park in full and the car won't move.

I just installed mine works perfect. Unleash all 400+hp totally different car without that engine cut feel you get that beast mode feel

Thanks for posting your picture. It made it easier to see what I needed to do.

Did you install it where the parking brake fuse goes?

 

[edizzle89]

I cant help but to think what is the point of the additional relay? Could you not just use the remote relay and hook the white wire to the other side of the fuse? It's rated for 15 amps which is more then the original fuse. Or am i missing something?

 

[edizzle89]

Nevermind, i realized that the remote relay turning on is made to 'open' the standard relay which acts as the fuse removed. Just using the remote relay would leave it open until you turned on, which is basically the opposite of what it needs to be doing

OK, 2012 5.0 R-spec - to be or not to be?
Got confused a bit after long thread reading......

Can the homelink button on the mirror be programmed to take the place of the fob?

 

[Steve2020]

I just got mine in and I was/am in the same boat as the Canadian. Wiring it the same as the instructions and pictures would do nothing but make it act as though the fuse was missing as soon as the car was started and the remote relay did nothing (my EPB never set itself though). I got to looking at the relay harness diagram and the pins were in the wrong slots so I used a multimeter probe to push the tabs in and I changed them around. The best I can get it to do is act as if the fuse is in but I can't get the circuit to open. Would getting the wires reversed between 30 and 87a keep the remote from working? Does it matter if 87a is used instead of 87?

I pulled the fuse just to test, I now have a new appreciation for this car.
It's tuff following my weekend warrior GXP, if I can get a switch going it will make the week days more exciting.
