An adapter device includes a printed circuit board (PCB), an output port disposed on the PCB and having first pins, where the output port is to be connected to an output harness that is connected to an adaptive device. The adapter also includes wireless circuitry one of disposed on or coupled to the PCB and a processing device disposed on the PCB and coupled to the output port and wireless circuitry. The processing device is to: identify, via the wireless circuitry, an actuation command from a wireless signal received from a handheld electronic device; translate the actuation command to one or more actuation bits that match one of analog-converted bits receivable over an input harness or digital control bits receivable over a wireless controller associated with the adaptive device; and provide the actuation bits to the first pins, the actuation bits causing the adaptive device to perform a specific action.

An apparatus is provided relating to the insertion of one or more wires into a cavity of a fixture of a structure or component. The wire insertion apparatus includes a grommet, a gripper adapted to interface with the grommet, and at least a first vibrating element. The first vibrating element is connected to and vibrates one or more of the apparatus, the grommet, the gripper, the wire, and/or a component of the apparatus. Vibration, induced in any direction, enables the cavities to shift position during insertion relative to the contact, thus increasing the tolerance of the cavity, reducing the failure rate of wire insertion, and reducing total production time. The vibration breaks the static friction of the contact in the grommet or dielectric opening, creates the positive locating required to insert the contact in the grommet and/or dielectric, and/or pivots the contact.
