Andy: I most certainly did. However, here's what I'll do now.

1- Restore everything back to factory
2- Turn car on
3- Confirm all is OK (no warning lights)
4- Turn car off and remove key
5- Wait 5+ minutes with door open
6- Reinstall SB and test.

Here's a video of exactly what happens. Note what happens after I turn the car on, off then back on again. In the first session, the warning light remains on. On the second cycle, it comes on briefly then remains off.

I had to upload the video to my Dropbox account as I couldn't upload it here.

There is nothing for a non-S that can bring this type of performance gain.

Any have a suggestion on how to make things tidy. Im not happy with the wires and module kind of loosely sitting there. The switch unit is exposed but I was going to run under the cockpit then along the right side of my feet. Also the switch doesnt turn off when the car isnt running. Is this the same with other folks?

You don't see anything in my car, except the switch that is visible through the spokes of the steering wheel. I want to be able to see it because it sometimes switches to race mode. Also it does stay lit until the computer goes to sleep. Mine is automatic and the shift indicator light stays on at the same time. When the computer goes to sleep it goes out. It is nothing to worry about. I love mine as well, and attribute being so content with my non-s to that little device.
