Your sequence has to be done smoothly and quickly for the unit to accept the proper sequence.Jeff

you have to do that sequence thing to get into setup menu as well after you do the sequence press and hold setup button for like 4 5 secs or so than let go it should let you in setup.. the expansion box is something for the navigation part there is a section cant remember what though and you haev to turn it off just once you get in to the setup menu use 1 thru 6 to scrol through different menus and use the corresponding button to jump through that menu example to get to menu two option 2 you press the # 2 button to take you to menu 2 and then press 2 , two more times to scroll through menu to. then read screen for on and off and so on.

mecp certification is not always needed. I have it and it has not helped me out at all. my experience out shines it.

thanks guys i think i got this part now what i need help with is tring to find the + wire for my brake pedal  question now does it matter where these wires go as long as its a pos and neg  and is the on off on off on fast or slow

forgot bmw 94 540i thats the car

drop the dash and locate the plug on top of the brake pedle. and test it to see what wire shows positive only when pressing the pedle down.i belive it is blue/red this wire connects to the yellow/black positive input wire and a toggle switch or the hand brake ground connects to yellow/blue.Jon
