That said, the CG website description says its "designed to create the same signals that the factory BMW computer uses to control the electronic exhaust flap"... Since the valve is unresponsive to the computers commands wouldn't that apply to the CG as well? (meaning the CG would have no effect on the valve opening or closing since the valve doesn't respond to the command) |
That's a good question because you still have to plug the OEM wiring into the CG and then CG to actuator. I figured the way it worked is it would bypass the system but they cannot be true if the OEM plug is connected. Keep us posted if the tech can figure it out. |
Will do. The Tech has an active case open right now with BMW. I'm waiting to hear back on what to try next. I wish it was simple enough where buying a product like CG would make it work! I don't think it will though because like you said, the CG still gets integrated with a part of the factory system.
