Hey tires look great what are the specs on those
Thanks! They're 18x9.5 front, 18x10.5 rear and they're all wrapped in 225 40 18. Also the car is maxed out on Godspeed mono rs coilovers. I'm looking to go air in the spring

Put the matching controller in for my retrofitted CiC and then took the jump and coded the whole thing myself.



Going to look about how to code the VIN and create the certificates so I can remove the emulator.

Took apart my key fob that had been run through the washer and dryer a while back that had started to have issues locking the car. Cleaned up the contacts and put it back together temporarily and tested it.... seems to work okay.

Took a plastic syringe and melted the tip to close it up to about a mechanical pencil lead hole. Filled it with 3m super trim adhesive. Then ran a bead around both halves of the key fob and then put it back together and clamped it. Let it setup now.

Also picked up a 32gb flash drive and am loading 2019-1 maps onto it to update my car.

Well, it was late last night and put a anti-glare film on my CiC display.

Today, tore the rear interior apart and found that the "Satellite Prep" on my car has a single fakra connector for the shark fin. So, ordered an extension cable and will hook up the satellite capability in my CiC retro.

I just did this yesterday. I got a 2 month free trial with Sirius. Keep in mind your CIC needs the sat radio FSC code.

Is already programed into it...

Seems I hit the jackpot when I bought the CiC unit for the retro.

Post 03/2011 CIC units almost always have all of the FSC codes. I get so many emails of people retrofitting CICs from early cars and there is always issues.

Well, I just kept asking the sellers for the VIN and kept looking for the newest hardware model that was available.

Put my 15mm/12mm wheel spacers on my e92 today. Why I haven't done that before, I don't know. For 100 bucks it made the car look so much better.

No photos, got them from EBay. They are anodized black just like the burger tuning ones are. Hub centric too. 100 bucks shipped or so with bolts. Very worth it
