If you’re looking for a quick and easy plug and play ECU solution and your car is not supported by the Haltech Pro Plugin range, then Plug’n’Play Adaptor Harnesses are your next best option.

Plug’n’Play Adaptor Harness allows you to use Haltech’s universal ECUs like Platinum Sport 1000/2000 or Elite 1500/2500 by connecting them directly to the factory harness in your car via a Plug’n’Play adaptor . This is an ideal solution for builders and tuners who want a quick and easy install without the need to rewire the whole system.

The Plug’n’Play Adaptor Harness comes complete with an adaptor box which has factory harness socket on one side and three universal ECU inputs on the other.
