My first mod. Ever.

I installed the Ian Cull auto-up circuit. Had to buy my first torx wrenches to do it. The circuit works great.

Ian if you read this: include the new '06 slide-the-down-tube install directions (hardcopy) with the circuit. They are really easy to follow, but I would not have known about them if I had not combed your website.


I may be installing my own stripes next...

Ian's circuit is a great mod. Glad I did it too. I got the DSC OFF option but have not enabled it.

Have had my auto up sitting in my house for 3 weeks, hoping tommorrow I will have a chance to finally put it in.

I have my new torx wrench too.

This will also my my first real mod (I don't think putting in a glove box tidy really counts does it?)

That was my first mod too. I have the track mode model & I've enabled it. I love having that nagging traction control nanny shut off. Oh yes I also have the AutoUp. Ian still has some of these available.

Yes - I just added a few extra notes to the install instructions this week. Although my personal preference is still for the "blind" install removing no parts.

ItsNotPeriwinkle, I have no plans to do anything like that at the moment - mostly because I don't have a convertible to experiment on!
