2003 MCS DIY OBC worked!!!
Well, it worked!!! This morning I wired in my switch to my harness behind the speedo using this DIY

After I had it wired and ready to go, I drove over to Momentum Mini and asked if they would activate the OBC, at first no one new what I was talking about and the guy I spoke with on the phone yesterday was like "we will call you to see if it works, then you can come back" but I already drove the 1 hour drive so it was getting done. Finally the tech came out and I explained to him that I already have the Xenon headlights which requires the harness, therefore the hardware is there, it just needs to be programmed, I also asked him to shut off my daytime running lights and then he kind of understood what I was talking about with the OBD2. After 20 min, he came back out and said "it can be done but they want to charge you for an hour which is 130 bucks!" and then it happened, "but I will do it for 20" and I was like, done. Lol. So he did it and boom! My button worked! Only thing I am kind of upset about is that for some reason I still don't have digital speed? But oh well, I have everything else!
