    Hi everyone!
    I have a 2006 Spirit that's on its last legs and have seen a T3 that looks like a good replacement (very low budget) but obviously lacks some of the bells and whistles.

    My question is this:
    Is the basic wiring harness in Gen 2s the same, with just the accessories added or deleted dependent on model, or does, for example, the T3 have its own dedicated harness.

    I'd like to be able to extract some of the goodies from my Spirit and install in the T3/T4.
    Am I dreaming here?

    Cheers
    John

    Generally the wiring harnesses are commensurate with the spec of the car at build so generally you cannot expect to "mix and match" between different specs. If you really want a feature, get the replacement with it fitted or be happy to go without.

    Thanks for your response. I'll be content with being poor.
