GROUP BUY: 2012 LED TAIL LIGHT PROGRAMMING (LOS ANGELES AREA ONLY)

There have been multiple threads about this. I'll make it as short and sweet as possible.

I've been in contact with ranorris2 which was able to reprogram his own SAM unit. He is based out of Dallas, Texas.

If you're like me, and don't want to ship your SAM unit out, but still want it programmed in the LA area, then this is the perfect solution.

I've asked him if he would fly out to the LA area if we paid for his flight. It would have to be 5 or more, but preferably 10+. Cost would be $100 plus the cost of his flight. Needless to say, the more the merrier.

Thank you ranorris2!

Let's go LA, get this party started!

Reply and add your name to the list!

This is for the greater Los Angeles area ONLY!

I've been in communication with ranorris2. Apparently, when he tried to program another member's 2008 C300's SAM unit, he ran into issues. It turns out that he had his SAM unit replaced with a 2010+ model. Ranorris2 was able to confirm that the SAM was a 2010+ model.

He is only able to program PRE 2010 SAM units.

So looks like this GROUP BUY is back in effect!

I met with ranorris2 today. He happend to be in the LA area today. He was kind enough to meet up with me. For those of you guys in doubt of sending him your SAM, let this testimony be a sign of assurance for you! He was able to program my SAM unit in less then 10 minutes. Super courteous and professional! Check out the results below!

Thanks ranorris2! Can't thank you enough!
