Anyone in Irvine have SSTT

Josephkao · 11-06-2008, 11:58 AM

Need HELP.
I have my SSTT installed for me, but I need to take it out this week before I bring my car in for service.
Can anyone in Irvine area can show/help me how to take the SSTT out. Although I have read the instruction, I still have no idea how where to insert the guitar pick to release the lock and unplug at the same time with one hand.

Man it's so easy. Just give it a try. I can get mine out in under 10 seconds. Just feel around for the clips and slide the pick under the clip.

just use the square end of a USB cable connector and slide it onto the tab.
Once the USB connector is on the SSTT tab simply slide the SSTT off.
Oh yeah if you tie the other end of the USB cable to your wrist you only need one hand and you don't have to worry about dropping anything into your engine bay.

I still don't understand what side of the USB that is. Aren't both sides square? Does the part that is thicker (the white part) go into the clip, or the empty thin sliver?

For example, in this picture, on the USB cable at the top right, do you stick the top part or the bottom part in the clip?

Here is a photo with the USB plug partially on the clip...

The pic worked great for me.Took me 2 minutes to install.Was easier because i have a BMS single filter,no stock air box in the way.But now that i have done it, even with the stock box on it would be just as easy because i know where to feel for the install.I drilled a small hole in the pick and tied it on to a line above the clip as not to let it drop(fall down into the engine compartment).

Honestly...the ease of installing/removing this modification is one of its principal benefits. OP PM me if you need help.
