10th Gen Civic - ELD

[I'mPoor:(]

Does anyone have experience with bypassing the ELD on a 10th Gen Honda Civic? I found the guide for 7th/8th gen but want verification for 10th gen. I also posted on civicforums but you know figured someone here might have experience already.

Thanks!

Thought I would reply and let anyone looking at this in the future know. You do not have to bypass the ELD. Simply turn your headlights on and it will keep voltage up.

Big if true. I'll need to try this out in my brother's.

This has been discussed before about the headlights activating the higher voltage. It’s a nice quick fix but I personally wouldn’t wanna have my headlights on everywhere I go.

Agreed. It's well known in the Honda community that you have to run your lights during daylight hours to keep your voltage high. I even mentioned it in Jstoltzys electrical thread earlier this week about keeping the headlights on (I personally had to do it for my 6th and 7th gen before I got the bypass)

If you want a proper bypass but want to keep the alternator stock you can buy an adapter from Singer Alternators (he's the only alt company that makes a bypass for the ELD). It's basically just an adapter that tricks the stock sense wire into thinking that it needs a full load.
