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?
Pic n the sig looks like an M5 LCI but text in the sig says 550.

I have seen these in person. Had a guy come by earlier this week that had it on his car.

While it's not bad, but you'll want more. So why not just knock it out right the first time? Besides, these tails, their resale value is $100 at best. Yet the LCI tails, it's been years and years, and their value -- even used are still easily commanding $400 plus.





Especially modded by me, right? Haha! You still owe me pics Dean!



aww shucks. I am alright! Like I said, if you can code or have access to a coder, I can help you with the retro without having to spend $300+ for cables.
