V-AFC Installation

How does the Vtec timer install? Do you just hook it up to the ECU, or is there some addition installation requirments.

Wanted to know because if I need to take my car in for engine problems, I want to disconnect the timers. I think that the dealership will try to say that the problem is caused by the timer.

I just ordered one. Looks pretty easy to install and it has a clip that plugs into the screen from what I can tell. If you tap into the wires right you should not have any problems hiding it from them.

The Vtec controller, the other end of it goes into the ECU.

You have to do some splicing. I am just going to get tap plugs so i don't have to cut the wires.
