The need to solder onto the ECU is the one aspect of the Digitool that gives me pause. I gather that the ECU connector to the wiring harness is not very common, but if one were to find a source for both the male and female connectors for the ECU, is there any reason a "T" connector wouldn't work between the ECU and harness? That would bring down the cost of the digitool considerably, and allow it's use in more troubleshooting situations. Anybody have info on the connector? I'll do some looking on my extra wiring harness for any clues on the OEM.
