Instructions for Renntech Lowering Module V1?

Found some on renntech's website but have no idea what they mean, anybody have any other ones or care to explain what exactly the ones from renntech's website mean?

Was definitely waiting for someone to make that comment haha I can definitely solder the thing in, i've already lengthened the harness to mount the module underneath the cupholders. I would have used Komp55's DIY but thats for the V2 of the module and it looks like the V1 is a bit different. Also the module I bought (got it for pretty cheap) looks like its missing a bit of the clips and hardware possibly.

This is what I have...



The instructions for the V2 on renntech's website are very clear but the ones for the V1 aren't nearly as easy to figure out it doesn't seem.

There are two primary differences between v1 and v2. First, the newer v2 does not require cutting and splicing the factory wiring harness. Instead you remove and connect pins from the harness to a connection block. A much, much cleaner and reversible installation. Second primary difference is the remote unit for the v2 which allows complete control of ride height without needing to relocate knobs in the center console or opening up the module.

That said, there are alot of v1's in use, and many are changing hands to new owners. Since Renntech no longer has the v1 installation instructions available on their website, I've attached a copy applicable to E55s with four-wire ride height sensors (most common). Good luck with your install.

Anyone have the manual or instructions to install the v1 on a w220 with ABS suspension?
