was sold years ago
i can throw another one together. you really don’t need the utility of a VCM for an x100 there’s nothing going on with these cars |
Sorry not understanding what you are saying, I need to be able to address the modules. Do you have one? The one I saw on market place is a full system I have a laptop and the software
Cheers |

Cheers i can throw together an identical system or make one with a mongoose for a fraction of the price. |
Thanks for clarifying
do you have a recommendation for a knock off, i was reading some had trouble with mongoose knock off comunicating with the early 1997 cars, any info you could pass on would be greatly appreciated. I reached out to British Diagnostics but have not got a reply on email asking about theirs for the 1997. I have an issue with this car saying Wrong Part on the dash I'm thinking somebody changed a module at some point and I want to be able to program the system to correct this I appreciate the help here |
Beware of BD. I ordered (and paid for) a unit from there. 35 days later and no response to email so gave up and got Visa to do a chargeback. Sooo, I'm now looking for an alternative source.
He was pretty quick replying to the my sales enquiry, though :icon_denk: |
Thanks I was going to purchase but I will not, let me know if you find another source.
This is a great bunch of people on here very responsive thank you again If any one knows a good source please let us know Cheers |
