Before you tell me to STFA, I already did and I came up with a good link (Linked at bottom of post), but I have one qustion.

According to the install you must cut and splice in the wires in parallel.

My question is, can I use a simple wire tap to avoid all the cutting and keep the install clean and simple?<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2053848.phtml">TCD Install Thread</a></li></ul>

just make sure you use a quality tap. i still prefer soldering.

So as long as I can guarantee the tap never breaks or for whatever reason comes off...Im good?

You don't have to cut, just strip and solder in betwwen the two wires

my prob with taps is you will lose connection over time even if it doesnt come loose

I used wire taps and have had them in there for over 1 yr without problems.

I only ask because I'm an avid commuter in Canada and I deal with 4 harsh seasons and about 40,000 km/year (about 25,000 miles/year)

Chicago - harsh seasons as well - bought the car new, has 133,000miles on it now
