FS: LCI V3 Retrofit Cables
#11
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).

These are the relays needed:

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.
