Very cool, and very generous of you Tony!

I'm actually not quite ready for it on this end -- techie things are indoor winter projects up here, so not until January most likely.

Meanwhile, I am hunting for the A/C clutch relay in my new 2018 XV Crosstrek, so I can wire up a kill switch for the A/C. Unfortunately, nobody seems to know where such relay is located on the vehicle, or even if it exists. The service documentation shows a location clearly labelled as "A/C relay", but in fact that slot in the relay box is empty from the factory. Duh..
