Expect immo problems. Probably need IDS/SDD. Thus also a hefty power supply and special diag cable.

Didn't even read your post. Can't be bothered to figure out where punctuation belongs. Good luck.

And don't expect an apology for this "useless" response. IMHO it's not useless. Maybe your future efforts will be easier to understand, and thus get you more desirable results.
