I bought two sets from Bruce Miranda, one for the 530xi and the V6 cables for my 550i. The v5 cables started giving right tail malfunction. When i contacted Bruce about this, his reply was he dosent support these cables anymore so buy the upgrade. Disheartened, i figured i would move on because i will not pay a ridiculous price all over.
Now coincidently my V6 cable went bad, recieved a left tail malfunction.


Now i contacted Bruce again, surely he wouldnt have an issue replacing these. Unfortunately after i paid the refundable deposit, he tells me im over the warranty period and would be charged for the cable. I am shocked that these cables could not stand the test of time. Even more the customer service provided by this individual. I have had plenty transactions with members and vendors on this board. They have always replaced ASAP even when i was clearly out of the year period. After buying twp sets of cables for nearly a grand in total, the least i expect is to have working cables after a year.

 

i too have gotten this prob

:l

i didnt buy from him directly (nor would i... fuck paying those prices)

i bought it off someone and get it everytime i break... quickly goes away though after 2 secs or so (even while still holding down the break)

i wonder if theres a way to mod this into the ricky method

 

its rare to see someone not pleased with bruce. curious to watch where this one goes.

 

sorry to hear that aresh... I hope Bruce mans up and helps you out.

 

I'm assuming the light bulbs are OK and are not the cause of the Lamp Malfunction warning?

While BMW offers an official LCI lighting retrofit path, it is a tremendously expensive retrofit. Even those components are not warrantied forever and cannot be easily uninstalled with the programming involved.

Bruce offers a quick and error-free method to install the LCI rear light and the process is completely reversible. Everyone of us who has Bruce's cables use them under different conditions, so they will have different lifespans. If it is out of the warranty period, the vendor is not obligated to remediate.

I have Bruce's V6 cables and I am still keeping my pre-LCI light - just in case. To prolong the life of the cables, MTEC v2 angel eyes, RDash rear registration LED, and the adaptive bi-Xenon headlamp, I avoid using the Auto position of the light switch. I make sure that light switch is in the Off position when I start and stop the vehicle (this has something to do with voltage spikes and drops).

 

God_003 im surprised your having this issue as well. What version cables donyou have? I actually paid for both of my cables and cant get a replacment for the V6 because i bought them in May 09 and im over a year. Its really annoying, that stupid ding noise everytime. I was thinking about the Ricky mod as well, maybe that would bypass the whole Brake malfunction.

 

Vkhong: i tottally agree with you, thats why i was wondering if im the only one with this issue. I have isolated the problem to the cables. I would not start this thread if i wasnt a hundred percent sure. In all honesty, if someone spent close to a grand for my products and they had problems, i would step up and resolve the issues warranty or not. Happy customers will bring more customers.

 

12 month warranty is BS and should have been the first red flag

even suspension companies like KW and JIC offer a huge warranty and those items receive the most wear and tear

just another reason I wont jump to buy his cables

 

I have the V6 and have good luck so far...

 

Use V5 left and V6 right. You still have 1 set available to use. J/K
Wish Bruce mans up and helps you out.
