GIAC and DSC

Does the GIAC software turn down the sensativity of the DSC?

I was just looking at a discussion on this sort of thing on another forum. The MTH software is supposed to turn down the sensitivity of the ASC.

I saw that the MTH did it, but the MTH and all it's issues is not something I'm interested in right now.

For $50, but it won't solve the light problem.

hockey, you beat me to it!

i am a huge fan of the auto dsc off. one of my favorite mods. i know others feel differently. i just feel like i have much more control without it....heck i always drove without it in my e46 m3! it also saves you from an embarrasing moment on the track when you realize it's on

btw, i don't notice the light anymore (it is on)....my brain seems to have filtered it out

Yep, gotta love having the ability to drive your car & not have it try to drive for you. I don't see the light either.

All it took was once...I started looking immediately for the 'fix.' I am still waiting for Ian to ship out the Gen6 batch. Apparently there was an issue with the last connector falling out.

Just installed my v6 last night. I chose to remove the tubes and pull the switch panel out. I have worked on computers for 15+ years and am comfortable with connecting those types of cables.....but still did NOT think the 'blind method' was a good idea. Plus, like many have stated....with big hands it's impossible to get it done right in that tiny compartment. IMO.

I will say that it is the sweetest little goodie for the price! $52 shipped. Took one week. Wrapped in anti-static bag and excellent instructions, in color even. Simple to program. Purposeful. (?) I chose to wrap it in a little piece of foam and zip tie it so it does not get jarred in the space behind the switches. I even got a red LED to match my car! How nice of Ian to consider that!

I programmed the Auto Window Up, DSC disable, and fog lights w/headlight options. Each 'config' worked on the first try and within 20 seconds, I was done.

My hat's off to you Ian! I hope you make a nice little bundle for your mad money account on these babies.
Nam'ers, get them while they're HOT!
