My Ride: carbonized MB coupe
Default

guys and anyone who's gonna buy the F10 or MB or Audi with the new industry standard enclosed/sealed computer controlled engine fan etc,.

my car is off the road......due to a computer problem, wait for it caused by
attaching leds!!!! wtf!
it appears the led is not taking enough power and that power is causing overload somwhere else leading
to a override to switch off the air-con and engine fan and coolant warnings......

so is this the end of electrical modding??????

resetting using version star diagnose 7 (Windows 7?) doesn't help.
can't use leds, what a disappointment!

taking less power causes other components to shutdown, what a joke! with all their energy initiatives, why dont car co uses more leds as standard to reduce size of battery + alternator.

how much power do you think the int lights consume compared to all the exterior headlights combined. the rest of related changes need to be done by manufacturer or pros rather than amateur modders.
