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?

Facelifting Project

Hi community,

I've been working on a facelift project for some months now and the exterior is 95% done and then going into the interior. Chris has been a great help along the way with his knowledge and also sourcing some parts at a great price. I'm the kind of person that shops around for the best prices and have to tell you guys not to spend hours looking because his prices won't be beat. Along with great prices he also provides a great deal of knowledge which is priceless.

However, here are some pics of my widebody facelift project for your viewing pleasure:
