Giveaway

Giveaway wiring is wiring content that is included in a vehicle although the electrical features it services may not be included in the electrical distribution system. This is typically done to lower the management and logistical cost of harness manufacturing by reducing the total number of harness levels in a harness family. Giveaways are therefore harness-specific.

The giveaway content is indicated by specifying that an option is to be a giveaway option. This results in the wiring associated with this option being included in all compatible harness levels.

In addition, it is possible to give away an option with one or more other options. This effectively ties the options together so that, in any harness level, they are either all supported or none of them is supported.
