Parking-Brake Elimination
Hello! Does anyone know a source for parking-brake elimination on the C8? Whether it already exists or someone that is capable of producing such a device, I would like something to plug in the the vacated wiring harness after removing the parking-brake calipers. Thank you!

I placed a block between the pads and relocated the calipers to the area in the engine bay forward of the fender wells and rerouted the cabling . There is plenty of room there and easy to tightly secured the calipers.
Zero problems with the Nanny controls.

I’m not aware of a connector that can be plugged in at wiring harness. When the car starts and is turned off the Ebrake engages and presses the pads to the rotor then backs off slightly. You do not have to use the parking brake switch for this to occur. If the pistons extend too far, the computer will throw faults and limit the speed of the car to 43 or 62 mph.
I’m not aware of a smart connector that would have the logic to mimic these operations.

@C8gofast Any chance you could share a photo of that and how it's secured? I'm about to do the same thing with the ap kit and 18 in wheels. Thanks.
I no longer have that car. So, I cannot take photos
