Or do you mean, when adding or removing a device they considered in advance when wiring this 'box ? What if you want to make a mod they did not think of ? I'd be wary of any connection 'box I don't know what the innards are made of if all it does is just connect things.

I personnally prefer the actual DIY way, drawing architecture and systems schematics and fabricating my own cables and connectors. Lighter, cheaper and really tailor-made.

In the event you have something outside of the typical device, you just modify the configuration plug. > Is it really DIY if one orders all the boxes and pre-made wire bundles, and just bolts the boxes in place and plugs factory made connectors ? Is it really DIY if you buy a radio as opposed to building one yourself? Is it really DIY if you buy an engine as opposed to building one yourself?

You are certainly allowed to do that. Personally, I like being able to choose which tasks of the build I do myself and which ones I purchase off the shelf.
