Aux idle Module

Anyone here put on a Aux idle module on their PSD? I bought one a few days ago for cheap and wondered if anyone knows where the plug in is located. The instructions are pretty minimal as far as the harness.

I think the plug is just to the left of the OBDII port. The brake controller plug is with it on a metal tab that is just under the dash.

I have not programmed it yet, however I fiddled with it a little bit yesterday and it is sweet. It should really help warm it up much faster in the winter out here. It looks very cool at night with the green display backing. I am really happy with it and the price was more than right on ebay. I paid 160.00 for the display version with the mounting kit, harness, and unit, all BRAND new.

Mine is also 640/650 at idle. I will run it at the 1200 setting for winter warm-ups, as the 2000 seems a bit high right after a cold start up. I am consistantly running 14.2 on the voltage.

Stock program. (splitshot motor)
Instead of the idleup use the charge protect mode. The rpm will lower itself as batts come up.
Just donot use the charge protect while gp's are active it will send the RPM thru the roof
