Install guide
Ten minutes, no tools
Most owners fit Open Valve on the drive on a Saturday morning, with a coffee in one hand. There are no fasteners to undo, no wires to cut and no software to flash. If you can plug in a headphone jack, you can do this.
- 01
Pop the boot floor
Lift the boot floor liner and find the connectors going into the exhaust valve actuator(s). Most cars have one or two, mounted near the back-box.
- 02
Unplug the OEM connector
Disconnect the factory plug from each actuator. No tools needed — just the small release tab on the side of the connector.
- 03
Plug Open Valve in line
The Open Valve module has a matching male and female connector. Plug it between the OEM plug and the actuator. There's only one way it fits.
- 04
Tuck the module in
Tape or zip-tie the small module to the chassis or wiring loom, away from anything hot. There's plenty of slack in the harness on every supported car.
- 05
Pair the remote
The remote is pre-paired in the box. If you ever need to re-pair, hold the top button for 5 seconds while the ignition cycles on — you'll see the LED on the module flash green.
- 06
Test it
Start the car, press the top button, listen. Press the bottom button, you're back to factory. Refit the boot floor. You're done.
