So, I've been looking online and I'm confused. Is the Renntech V3 direct plug n play or do you need to do some wiring? I know with the V2 you have to do some wiring changes but I'm not sure with the V3. Do you guys know?

V3 is in a sense plug and play, you move wires form the stock harness to the RENNtech harness. Here is the 4-wire install for the 211.

while this is true, the likelyhood of a problem-free install is low. you have to disassemble a 30 and a 48 pin harness. then, you have to pull pins. then you have to figure out how to actually do those things, without breaking ****.

sorry dudes. not plug and play.

True, not completely plug and play but there's no cutting or splicing! I got the whole thing done in under 20 minutes and I have almost no experience in electrical! Pulling the plug is easy with a little piece of wire to push down on the barb. Then it's a matter of putting the wire in one the appropriate slots. Like Traffic53 said not completely plug and plug, but alot easier than people think.

Ok, seems like the install is easy enough, what about the V3 being Palm PDA ready, does that mean I can use my Palm PDA to lower my car? Sorry if its a dumb question.

I'm not sure if it's palm PDA ready. But on the renntech website they have a windows XP tablet pc for it. That's what I got it's a 7 inch pc with USB comections. It looks like an oversized navigation system but works very well!
