Should be any day for the arrival of my depos. What's next? M5 fenders from umnitza.com @ $339 I found a place that will make a 550i tag to fit on the fender incert instead of leaving it blank or should I do something with my head lights. I installed a joystick shifter that looks like the ones in the 2014 bmw. All the shift positions light up looks nice. They are replicas and the " P " is just a dummy button but it lights up. Bimmian.com. I just got an oil change and the dealer called me to tell me the Park button on the shifter wasn't working. I was like really you can't tell this shifter is just a replica. My car is a 2007. they need new technicians but check bout the website

Finally, I've learned how to code with NCS Expert, thanks to the internet. Coded out the tail lights errors. Now I can really sit back and enjoy a cold one.
What errors did you encounter that you needed to code? I am assuming something to do with your custom Ricky brake effect?

Can we get the ricky brake effect with coding alone, or does it require resistors a a what not?

Yes I got the tail light malfunction errors when I did the Ricky brake, because of the 2 bulbs deleted in each light. Therefore, I disable the hot and cold bulb check on those bulbs.

No, since I deleted the 2 brake bulbs, I am using the Rods and the round lights (called fog lights) as brake light. So manually you have move the brake lights wire to the rods and the round lights and add some diodes. Resistors are to remove the light errors, but in my case, it does not work so that's why I have to code.

Take a look at the wire diagram below for the Ricky brake

I don't know about this, seems a little "too good to be true". Especially that price point, that is shockingly low.
