Maybe they are all made in japan but usdm cx5 always have different stuff. Ex. Usdm Cx5 have 2 airbag connectors. Mine only has 1.

Are you talking about the clock spring connectors? Maybe that is why yours is not working? You need the other CLOCK SPRING?
Here is a picture showing the difference between the two clock springs. One connector has 1 row of pins, while the other clock spring has 2 rows of pins.

My clock spring has all 14 pins on the electric side beacuse i have Bluetooth and cruise control. What i meant was that usdm cx5 have 2 airbags connectors for whatever reason they think is needed, but jdm cx5 only have 1.
I already tested the wiring from inside the steering wheel to the big white connector of the start/stop unit and they have connectivity. Im trying to get a hold a pin layout of my actual car to see if there's a difference on the wiring of the unit. I had this problem before with the mirror autofolding kit i brought from germany. The pin layout was different at 1 point and i had to figure it out.

Sucess!!! Its working as it should now. Culprit was a faulty ground on the paddles shift connector inside the steering wheel. Took me quite a while to figure it out but its all sorted now and it works perfect!!!
Congrats! did u use the short prong harness or the long one? i want to try again this weekend
Keep us posted how it goes!
do both white harnesses have to be opened or just the wide one?
how did you unlock the smaller white one? (not the wide one)
The one on the steering column side that connects to the clockspring?

there is a tab that runs across the entire width of the connector on one of the sides (don't remember witch one right now) that can be lifted with a small flat head screwdriver. This tab should have 2 small dents on it, also this tab will lift no more than 1-2 mm in total.
Let me know if this helps you.

My Kit came in today!!! and I installed it!!! All went well, no problems, seems to be working just fine and I'm looking forward to having the paddle shifter at my disposal. If anyone is interested the kit that is up on ebay is the one that used. I have a 2016 GT with tech and I-activesense. I haven't had a chance to try out the radar cruise control but I do not expect to have any troubles with it. Some of my wires were different colors but I figured what one went where easy enough. Thanks for all the help in this thread. One more Flappy paddle CX-5!!!!
