The light on the switch panel now flashes (without the module nothing happened) and there is a beep from inside the dash, I assume signifying it saying where the f00k are my sensors???

lol

Yes the flashing followed by long beep indicates an error in the system (as in you have no friggin sensors attached lol!) If you had a dead sensor you'd get the same sound and flashing. It will go away once everything is hooked up and working correctly.

that reminds me, I need to hook up INPA and configure my sensors, ever since I replaced the 2 dead ones on my X I get random ass false alarms ALL THE TIME

Riggodeaux, are you coming to SoloMotorsport Open House party at their new location in Norcross on Feb 1st? I'd like to meet some more X owners in the ATL area.

Picking up a new CCV kit (cold weather one, ofc).

Is there coding I'll need to do?

I'd appreciate if you could document what you do to configure your sensors if it needs to be done to finish my install. (fronts out for delivery today, rears scheduled for tomorrow)

No coding you'll need to do to make it active, just plug and go.

However, I recently replaced 2 dead sensors with 2 aftermarket sensors, and the sensors work fine, however I feel like my PDC is extremely sensitive, and I know there is a setting in INPA that lets you configure the sensititvity per sensor I believe.

my theory is the aftermarket sensors (1 front and 1 rear) I just replaced are for whatever reason a bit more sensitive than the rest of the system which is why i'm getting false alarms all the time. I'll let you know how I do, probably gonna play around this weekend

Cool, thanks. Front sensors came today, hopefully rears & speaker tomorrow.

Anyone needing anything Mile was great I highly suggest getting stuff from him!

Re-bled and burped the cooling system after changing the t-stat. 60/40 mix. Heat is back to blowing good and hot, engine at normal temp, and no more mayo on the crankcase cap.

git er done

[Riggodeaux]

Done 9 January: Install of UUC Motorwerks SSK [short shift kit] and CDV [delete Clutch Delay Valve]. Change differential, X-Drive transfer case, and manual transmission fluids. Oil change from 5w30 to Mobil1 0w40 Euro, add a bottle of Lubro Moly oil treatment. Replace fuel filter. Samples pulled for Blackstone analysis of oil and tranny fluid. Today: replace air and cabin air filters. Pending: install OEM trailer hitch. Hopefully, nothing more til next oil change [7500 miles] and then spark plugs at 100k.

Restored oem intake with the hose that came yesterday. The damn clips that close the air cleaner cover fell into the abyss of the engine bay so I had to lift the X & open the plastic tray.

PDC sensors & speaker came, installed the speaker. Now the beeping comes from the back.
