You must have coding if you dont use resistors and you must re-pin the conectors...

Hey Chris:

Love your work. About to start doing some conversions. Have a couple question please:

1) My center vent has a Traction Control Off button, when replacing it with the new clock center vent, am I correct that I would lose the ability to turn off traction control unless I upgrade to a new instrument cluster?

2) Would headlights from Europe UK/Germany/etc work here in US? Looks like their headlights don't have the US amber lens in them. Do you think there would be a problem with operation of the active LED headlights because of the left vs right hand drive and maybe different alignment of the light beams? I currently have the active curve and auto highbeam 2010 headlights. Would these europe lights be able to be coded to a US vehicle?

3) For the rear taillights, I would like to go the route without programming. Can you please tell us the re-pinning and resister value needed?

Thanks!

Sorry...Missed this post:

1. You can code your old to have this menu in it.
2. It works fine.
3. No clue for that. I code.

PM me if parts are needed. Have a lot of leftovers.

Chris-
I'm good with mechanical items, but don't have necessary electronic/computer skills to install those items.

My wife wants to upgrade Command for her 2012 E550 coupe.
I made the mistake of sending her a picture of your upgrade: she called me a
"tease". :-)

Want to travel to Hawaii Island?
