LoMo Install HELP!!!!

Hello,

Im really struggling to figure out where to connect the LoMo M1 CANBUS wires on my 2004 SL55, I've been googling like mad and it seems I'm not the first to have this problem installing the LoMo. Has anyone first hand experience of successfully installing this unit? I have the quick install harness and connecting to the ABC module is a breeze, all the videos on Youtube show how to do that bit but none go on to show were the CANBUS wires go.

One search result suggested splicing into the CAN wires on the original ABC module which I could try but the wires on the LoMo aren't color coded to the OEM wiring standard of green & yellow!

Please Help

I bought it used and it’s not obvious who the manufacturer is. I have since reached out to seller of these units who has kindly shared the instructions with me.

I had to send my unit back to get reflashed. You all straight now? I can send you my directions if you need anything. In my case, the wires were not the same colors as the instructions... I had to trace back to the pinouts
