Is your key fob flashing? Because it should be obvious when the valve is open / closed. In my case, when hooked up to the tail lights, it would only operate if the light switch was in the parking lights on / headlights on indicators, but wouldn't work in auto or off.

Akrapovics install instructions show where to get power from the fuse box...

That's awesome. My install booklet didn't have this part in the manual. I must be awesome, because that's EXACTLY how I ran my wire to the fuse panel. Lucky guess! (I have some other low amperage stuff hooked up to that fuse, so I guess it was obvious, now that I think back....)

I think when I was on the phone with PSI, they were trying to get me to locate this wire. Unfortunately, my car even though is "fully loaded", doesn't have this power plug in the trunk. Would have made sense to include this with every car, so you can use it to power the air compressor in the trunk!
