Question ProgRama VS Renntech V3 lowering module?

I'd like to get Lomo M1 but my car is an 2004 with late 03 build so it won't work.
Is ProgRama ($950) as good as RENNtech V3($1395)?

I don't know anything about the ProgRama unfortunately. I have an ELM that is very similar to the ReNNtech unit, but nearly half the price. If you are interested, I can PM you information on it.

Is the ProgRama the same as this unit that is sold through loweringmodule.com? Its called "Mercedes-Benz V2 Lowering Module WITH the V2 Remote Control bundled" (20mA draw)

I have the Programa in my SL and it works great. I have the device tucked away in my console to adjust if necessary. It was not difficult to install. Directions were good. It is very similar to the Renntech V2. I thought it was the same to be honest. Either way, it does the job and quite well.

Programa supplied the ELMs to Renntech. The V2 with remote from Programa is the same as what Renntech sold.

So your post got me thinking. I have an ELM purchased through a guy that is also a forum member. The product came in a nondescript box with no names on it. The instructions had no names on it. I just looked at the control module and found in the "about" section that the unit is in fact programa. I guess if it said Renntech on it, it would have cost twice as much.

But this Programa v2/Renntech v2 is different than this Lowering Module v2 right?

I would say it's identical.

I have the Programa in my CL and I love it. Great little system.

These are the same units. If anyone is so inclined, here's a link to my DIY install that I posted in another of the forums here:
