I purchased a Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit (RM-15267) to connect to my motor coach to use the 2018 Edge Titanium's rear lighting while flat towed. Has anyone done this. Are there any issues with connecting to the LED lights? The instructions direct to remove the rear light assembly and install the diodes in the cavity between the car body and the light assembly; then run the cable up to the front of the vehicle to the socket mounted in the grill. I'm thinking it would be easier to find the wires at the front of the vehicle and install the diode inline near the the fuse panel. Any thoughts?

I'm working through this right now. What really hit me was when I thought about starting the Edge with keyless ignition. I Have to hit the brake pedal first and that activates a considerable portions of the vehicle electronics. Then I thought about driving the RV and how often I hit the brakes; and each time I do I'm initiating the "start" sequence. I can readily see why the battery would run down. Next question, once the battery is disconnected I guess you have to use the key to lock and unlock the car? Would an ODBII battery tender allow keyless entry to function? And another questions. If you use the TOAD CHARGER (http://www.lslproducts.net/TC_Broch.pdf), what impact would that have on the system electronics, since you would still be activating the "start" sequence each time the brakes were applied.
