I've been using the Bruce Miranda LCI tail adapters. No coding necessary with those installed.

I've seen them for under $200 in the classifieds section. There's different versions depending on how you want the tails to light up. I think the stock is v6 and the ricky brake effect is v6.1.

You never answered when I asked earlier. Can you code or do you have access to a person that can?

If yes, I can help you do the retrofit cheaper than buying the plug and play cables.

I am learning how to code but I cannot yet, there is a guy in Miami that offers coding services though.

Yah, pm me then if you want to explore alternative to the plug and play cables. A little more work, but cheaper and OEM parts.

From Bruce Miranda of course, lol.

No error, and no coding if you use his cable.

Is that your car in your sig? It looks like it's already got LCI setup?
