Looks great Thomas... Drex is going to be jealous now !!
It takes about 90 seconds for IMS to activate on my C-Coupe upon locking the doors with the windows open.
Did it take that long for yours ? or with the new SAM is that feature able to be adjusted ?

I put that on my things for Steve to do list, and we'll see what it can do for my 2003 C-Coupe.
I think there are a few more programmable features that an updated SAM will allow, I just can't remember what they all are. I'm sure Steve can let me know.

mine seemed to be activated within a minute. i'll actually time it next time and find out...
i don't think the updated SAM has any affect on IMS...
but it seemed to trigger quicker than the R171...

nice MJ! daaaamn, all those mods are making me jealous!
as for the scuffs on the rear bumper, it looks like it's not a scratch and it can be buffed off or you can use some "finishing compound" such as 3M finesse it to take it off. if you want, if you're going to be at the GMG meet on the 4th, I can try to take it off for ya!

not sure if 04 cluster or even 209 cluster will enable TPMS or not...
i think active TPMS will work. not sure on price or how much work is involved...

That's weird. Mine passive TPMS is on for my car. I wonder if there was a change from 03-04 vs. '04.5?
