UPDATE:
I had a chance to pm Bruce who told me I could fix the error problem by changing the relays in the cables. I took some pictures of the inner workings of the cables, and the two relays are the large black, box-shaped pieces on the end. By looking at the cables, it seems pretty easy to change the relays with the proper tools (solder gun, solder, needle nose pliers).

UPDATE:
I recently got some technical advice from Bruce Miranda that helped me fix my V6 cables:
http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=...mp;#entry619596
I installed my V3 cables to see if the new adjustment would change the errors I was getting, and sure enough, IT WORKED!!! Long story short, the cables don't error like I once thought, and all that needed to be done was the minor adjustment above.
A note to all of those who've already PM'd me about the cables, the price is still $125 shipped.

The restraint system error relates to the BMW recall. I know, I need to get it fixed

I can't believe these are not sold yet. This is a great price considering all of Bruces cable's are quality. Good luck on your sale man.
