I asked this in another thread, but it really needs to be asked in it's own thread.

I opened a new 5901 to install in a 2005 CTS-V. This one has an 18 pin harness instead of two or three smaller harnesses. Install went just fine until I went to plug in the optional valet button and LED light. Guess what? No place to plug them in on the new module! Anyone else notice this or have a work around? I hide the antennas...not an option to leave them out with my customers. So I really need a work around if I can find one.

We will finally after 2 years of aftermarket testing* be getting these products, I always try to hide the antenna so what's the answer?
*The testing of course done by the public.

Anyone?

Or how about anyone with a contact number or email address for DEI so I can ask them directly?

One other thought I'm having is taking the antenna apart and soldering the leads for the button and LED directly to the printed circuit board in the appropriate spots. I may try and get an extra antenna and try that if nothing else pops up. I can't believe DEI didn't account for this.
