The wires in the steering wheel column you need to splice to are:

12V red & blk/red
Ignition green/yellow
2nd ignition pink/yellow

You should test with a multimeter and turning your key in the ignition though that this is the same for your car.

The park brake wire is easy to find.





those really FAT wires right there.

Still a bit confused here. I got a free apex-i TT, so I'm relying on the info I have here and on the apex-i site. From the relay unit, I have 6 wires coming out:

White (o2)
Black (ground)
Gray (parking brake)
Red (12v)
Green
Blue

The red, green, and blue go into a harness and on the other side the green wire splits into 2: green and yellow.

I basically would like to figure out where these wires go and if it is necessary to ground to the ECU ground and if we need to hook up the o2 wire.
the guy above just told you what to splice into, for ignition you need green and yellow from the relay on your apexi, match the other colors up. Should be easy as pie unless you are color blind, then get a friend to help you out thats preferably not color blind as well.
I'm not sure about the Apexi but the Greddy and Omega ones have to be done different so you can lock your car while the timer is running. Here is how it has be done with the previously mentioned two so if you need to maybe you can match up what your Apexi needs to go to.

Holy shit! That worked with the Greddy!!! I spent DAYS reading wiring diagrams just to bypass the keyless module with a relay so it would get constant power once the key was removed from the ignition.

So in review, in order to get the Greddy Turbo Timer to work successfully with your door locks is the following:

Red wire on harness to thick red wire in the steering column.
Blue wire on harness to the same red wire.
Green wire on harness to the thick green/yellow wire.
Black wire on harness to ground (duh).

I feel like an idiot now.

constant power is the big red wire, in the omega one we have ignition 1 and ignition 2. We wire ignition 1 to constant power and ignition 2 to the green wire w/yellow stripe. Then obviously you have to ground it, I used a bolt that is behind the panel where your right foot is when you're driving. Hope this helps.

Is there aywhere in the steering column where the parking brake wire runs? I really dont want to remove my whole center console to get to it if I dont have to. Thx.
