Factory-like fix for the "Dark Keyhole" problem

[wompser]

Everyone with a Grenadier has this problem: it's hard to figure out how to get the key in the keyhole if it's dark! I've explored a number of different solutions, but now offer a plug-and-play solution that clicks right into the footwell lighting. This means that it automatically turns on and off with the footwell lights! Wiring harness is included. Plus, it has a channel cut into it so if you have a USB power source in your footwell, you can channel the wire right up along the steering column to the middle console where you plug your phone in.

I need to order up some materials for a batch, so if you're interested in fixing your "dark keyhole problem" please click through and add yourself to the list to be notified when this product is in stock. www.octodyne.net/ineos

When I am sitting in the driver seat, the key hole is obscured by the steering wheel. I need to lean to the side significantly, to see it.

I’m curious who has clear line of sight with the keyhole ?

Very short, and very tall people! Just kidding, it's a problem that plagues everyone, but having a light there really helps

I bought your light and plan to install this weekend, however the YouTube link for the installation video isn’t working. Can you update it or send me a working link? Looks like a solid piece of kit. Can’t wait to get it on! Thanks

Hmmm... try this link, and let me know if it's not working for you:

installation is pretty straightforward, but I'll post the video someplace else if you're not able to view it.

I just extend my index finger along the key blade to just beyond the key tip, and once my fingertip finds the keyhole I push the key in. Been doing it for a year+ now and never worry about seeing the keyhole.

Awesome. Thanks for posting the video.

Stupid question. Plugged it all in and no light in footwell or keyhole light. Replugged it in without keyhole light and the footwell light doesn’t work. I’m thinking the footwell light is bad and without it, the circuit won’t complete. There’s not a setting to turn off the footwell light is there? Door handle light and light at bottom of door work as advertised when the door is opened

Installed mine yesterday I ran into this. At first concerned me, then realized I left my door open and I guess the time lapsed and the vehicle shut power down to the interior. I hopped in closed the door opened again and everything g illuminated as intended. Very neat addition. I kept the wire very far right. Between the stainless steel bracket at right of steering column.

Just tried this but I think the footwell light is inop

 

[wompser]

Is the footwell light on the passenger side working for you?

Make sure door / floor lights are enabled using the overhead button.

Will try again and report back. Thanks for the tips!
