Hey everyone,

as some of you know from one of my posts I did the full LCI Retrofit with OEM BMW wiring. Just like Chris (Laidback) did with his.
Thing is you still need to code it.

I went to none other than EAS (European Auto Source, located in Anaheim) to get custom coding.
Tom is who you want to talk to if you want to go about doing this the right way, and doing it your way. He even stayed late to fix the wiring to true OEM because some of the pinouts were in the wrong spots, true customer care.

Here's all what he did:

Eyebrow delete
AEs to 12v fulltime (when headlights are on they change to 6V, so they are bright at night and crisp)
Full OEM Taillight function
Digital Speedometer (wheel sensors already in the car)
Lock with windows down and mirrors folding up
Unlock with mirrors out and windows rolling down

I highly recommend doing this, and even if you don't do the LCI conversion Tom can still do custom coding for you like he did for me.

The Butterfly Effect



DRL Halos

Notice Halos are still at 12V with lights on



No I don't have any affiliation with Tom or EAS, just extremely satisfied with their work and ability to customize my car further

Thank you C!

In all honesty the pictures suck, slightly blurry and the reason they look good is because the lens, editing, and depth of field.

But I appreciate the compliment nonetheless! They do look amazing in person though..
