Sacramento help needed to remove Renntech ELM V2

as the title says ... i bought an 03 E55 with the renntech ELM V2 already installed. While the car looks good lowered, i decided to keep it at stock ride height and as such the module is always turned off and not in use.

I've done some research on how this thing gets installed and i see that some wiring needs to be moved around in the factory harness connector, meaning that it would need to be put back if i were to remove the module.

If someone in or around Sacramento or the SF Bay Area knows how to do it properly and can show me or can do it for me(i will pay $$$ for your time and knowledge) please let me know. I can come to you if needed.

thanks.

A local forum member referred me to a master tech who quoted me $200 to remove it. I am looking to do this sooner rather than later and i said OK but now that i think about it this sounds fairly high to me ...any thoughts?

Why don't you just change the settings to the highest position.

Update:

PACougar's buddy(Dave) removed the ELM yesterday and I can definitely recommend his services. Car runs perfect and he charged me less than the original estimate. Very nice guy and very knowledgeble.

That said, the ELM v2 with the remote is now for sale. If you are interested let me know and shoot me an offer.

Thanks again PACougar and Dave as well as the others who offered advice.
