DadBodCarMod Wiring Adapters

Wiring adapters for the various cars we modify.

While we sometimes do custom wiring, one of the goals of our projects is to simplify these projects so the average "dad bod" can do these to their own cars. These adapters are ones we've created to minimize the required wiring changes to our stock-ish cars.

Corolla 2006 DBW Dash to ADU

This adapter is for connecting an ECU Masters Advanced Display Unit (ADU) to the stock dash connector on a Toyota Corolla. This will likely work on other models that have a similar dash. It's intended to be used with a car using the ECU Masters EMU Black engine computer, so many of the stock light/functions aren't connected (e.g. tachometer comes via CAN bus instead of stock pin).

  • For EMU Master Advanced Display Unit (ADU)
  • For use with ECU Master EMU Black (likely will work with EMU Classic)
  • For use on Toyota Corolla 2003 to 2006 (tested on 2003 and 2006)
  • For use on Drive-by-Wire (DBW) and non-DBW cars
  • For use on cars without Anti-lock Braking System (ABS); two or three changes required for ABS

Questions

What parts does the NRG Detachable Steering Wheel Insert use?

18 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the NRG Detachable Steering Wheel Insert KiCad files?

From the dadbodcarmod/wiring-adapters repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is NRG Detachable Steering Wheel Insert/NRG Detachable Steering Wheel Insert.kicad_pcb and its schematic Corolla 2006 DBW Dash to ADU/Corolla 2006 DBW Dash to ADU.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the NRG Detachable Steering Wheel Insert design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the BSD-2-Clause licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
