Hi I am thinking of upgrading to V5 strobless cables from bruce and conteplating if i'm gonna send it back to bruce or just sell it on my own. The cables has initial start up strobe on Auto and has Right and Left brake lamp error, but the brake lights still are operating even though it shows on idrive. The error is intermitten and goes away and comes back, but with no malfunction of the brake lights what so ever. PM if you are intrested i want to let it go for $150.

Here are some photo's of the cables. I also forgot to mention the intermitten error only shows up when the lights are running not when the lights are off.

To anyone who buys this, you can fix that error super easy by installing a pair of resistors for $2 max. If you want more info PM me because I installed my LCI's without Bruce's cables with zero errors.

I eventually bought his V5 cable just to make the strobing go away. Some people don't mind the initial strobing, but I will sell this car eventually and the less explaining I have to do the better.

Thanks iCharles for making that clear that the error can be fixed.

Bruce miranda himself can fix the problem with the error malfunction if you dont want that to show on the idrive. The cable is an steal if you just want the tailights to work.

I figured as much, because I was under the impression the purpose of his cable was to NOT get any errors. Probably just a fluke in this circumstance. I did not mean to undermine Bruce's expertise in this department by offering to assist with resistors.

This is a great deal that just got better, if you are even thinking about these I would get them quick because your only other options are a lot more expensive.
