so at some point, i'm going to need to get this thing programmed... and i'm thinking i'm going to have to do it before i do much more. some of this might be forum folklore, but its stuff i've read about over the years...

my main concern is the fiber optic loop... i accidentally left it undone a while back and it caused all kinds of problems.

second is airbags... the only airbag i have left is the steering wheel- mostly for aesthetics because i don't have a kmp yet, and i can't get rid of the module behind the handbrake without programming it off.

another area of concern is the hvac controls. from what i understand, you can't get rid of the control unit without the efan for the car not working right. i've read it just goes at full blast or something.

i didn't unplug anything new really, i just moved a huge loom of wire from the trunk to the driver's side rear footwell, but left behind the wire that powers the third brake light and the associated ground. i need to get to the back of the electrical panel that is behind where the glovebox would be, but its a lot of work and i'm thinking i should get the car programmed before i proceed further. pic for fun.
