It appears DHL has also "misplaced" my order as well. I tracked the package - departed the UK on Tuesday to Cincinnati,OH where it was checked in early Thursday AM. It was then tracked to Boston supposedly arriving late Thursday morning. I anticipated delivery by Friday since I'm about an hour drive south of Boston.
Three different phone calls to DHL customer service provide me with 3 different stories. 1st I was told to call back in an hour as they attempt to locate the shipment and provide status.
2nd Call I was informed that the package would be delivered to me by 5pm Friday.
On the 3rd call I was informed the shipment probably never did actually make it to Boston and they need to "locate" it - perhaps I would have it by Tuesday.
So who knows what to believe ? Thank goodness its just cables and not a kidney for a life saving procedure ! :thumbsdown:

wow, not only me having problems with this useless courier company....Fedex and UPS is much better! DHL uses a tracking system from the 90s, thats why they always screws up. Not to mention they farm a lot of the their jobs out to owner operators.

Maybe I should offer a choice of shipping methods. Fedex and UPS are generally a bit more expensive.

Got my V6.1cables today, thanks Bruce! I didn't have any issues with DHL, and mine also went through Cincinnati. I missed the first delivery, but they were willing to make a second trip.

Hi! I've received my cables today and it's already on the car. Thanks Bruce! Looks great!!!
But! Only the inner light lights up when I step on the brake. Is that like on the original? Is there a possibility to connect the outer light with the inner to make both ligts light up when I step on the brake? Can I connect it directly with wire and is that dangerous for the modules (overload)?
Thanks for advice!

The outer brake light is for the Brake Force Display. It will come on when you press the Brake hard. If you have a car that is newer than Oct 2006 you can join both the green and the grey wires and both lights will work, if you do this on a car that is older than Oct 2006 you will get an error on the idrive.
