If so, yeah.
works.

You wouldn't happen to have the VIN it came from so I can do the media update eh?

No I don't have the vin. I bought it thinking mine was broken. But my car is an 11 would my vin from my car work to update it? If so pm me and I'll send you my vin number

Installed sport seats.. do I have to code the rectangle button in front corner of seat? Can I swap seat back with pockets from my old plain seats?

S65Hunter · 07-14-2021, 07:55 PM

You need to disconnect the battery before unplugging the seat to avoid setting off a seat airbag error code. If you unplugged the seats with the battery still plugged in you will need to get the error coded out to remove the warning light on the dash.... dont feel bad, is easy to make this mistake, have done it myself a couple of times DOH

What is the need for a ball-joint type lower shock absorber mount? Is there a real need to lower the resistance-to-movement of the lower mount? My concern with that type of mount is road trash (sand and salt) is going to tear up that ball-joint pretty quickly since it has no protection from the elements.

repin harness
change VO code.
that was it. I didn't even code the combox to the car, still has it's old VIN and such in it. Displays the wrong bluetooth name still lol.
CIC unit just started working.

I was pleasantly surprised at the lack of drama, given the difficulty that was CIC retrofit coding.

I didn't disconnect the battery and no error code on dash.. but I have to figure out wiring for seat bolster button

Agreed. That set of lower shock mounts is probably for a car that's driven in the south and never sees dirt roads, or perhaps a track car.

Finished the 3-stage intake manifold swap, feels sooo much better, even just using the Bimmerlabs flash. Actually has a little oomph to it. Race pads are on, ready for a track day this weekend. Intake ports look great, one awesome thing about being port injected. Forgot about the CCV system change and accidentally bought an early N52 manifold with one PCV port not the two that the updated ones have, sooo, I 3D printed a plug out of ABS to cap the unused port on the CCV hose.

nsjames · 07-15-2021, 05:41 PM

change the DISA valves?
