Thanks. They work just fine though right? Any issues for you?

I have only had them for a month, but so far so good. I have been on some pretty obscure roads and they are on the map. Although the POI doesn't have my two local ski resorts, which are pretty big and pretty old. I am not sure if thats a knock off thing or if they are just excluded on BMW's software anyway. My 2014 knock off disc was the same and worked well aside from that. For $15 I am happy.

Installed the Tekonsha Prodigy RF brake controller on the new horse trailer and 'mated' it to its sending unit with my E53 for horse-hauling. $308 via Amazon Prime ....

Decided to put on my summer rim/tires setup that I had plasti-dipped about a week ago.
I can't decide if I like it or not.

Nice. I pick up my Amazon $308 unit tomorrow when I cross the border. How was the 'mating' process?

LVP 04-28-2015 09:03 PM

My to do list is growing. Ugh.
- rear upper right suspension link
- outer right cv boot has a hole
- inner left cv boot was repacked and now spraying a bit
- vacuum pump rebuild
- oil change
- alignment
- mount summer tires

LVP, see my note on the 'trailer towing' thread on the Prodigy 'mating'. No problems, other than starting with an 'nc' display when actually connected. I didn't need to first do it on a US vehicle, and didn't need to use a 'resistors' adapter even though my trailer had all LCD lights. PM if you have any questions once you get it [not likely, pretty easy ....]

I'm going to give RB's favorite a whirl and pick up Rotella T6 at Walmart en route home tonight for the next oil change. See if it reduces consumption from the 0w40 Mobil1 I usually run.

You can get it from Amazon for 20.00 a gallon as well. No tax or shipping if you spend 35.00 or more. And there is a 5.00 per gallon rebate as well. They can process the rebates online so it makes it really easy.
