CG Precision Variable Sound Controller (VSC-2): Fits/Works with M2C
Just a PSA, but I bought one and installed it last night. Functions just fine. I will say the shorter pigtail coming out of the box is just long enough to reach the exhaust valve, assuming you are bolting the box to the exhaust hanger.
I know - you want pictures or sound clips, but I don't have any. Close your eyes and make vroom sound? |

Isn’t it just a exhaust valve controller? I don’t intend to be critical, but $200 seems like a lot when bimmerlink does more for a fraction of the cost.
I might be missing something here so please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong. |

The CG VSC-1/2 on the other hand will default to the setting of your choice (automatically) and it can instantaneously be controlled via an included remote or the homelink buttons on your rear view mirror. No phone app or OBDII connection needed. I've used both methods and I currently have and use the CG VSC-1 on my OG M2. It's much better and way easier to use than bimmerlink. 100% worth the money if you value being able to control your valves quickly and easily. |

Has anyone hooked this up to a blank button on our center console kind of like how AMG cars can open and close the valve with a button on the console?

Unless you're an electrical engineer or someone who has the time and patience to figure that all out I would just do what's recommended: program it into 2 of the homelink buttons on the rearview mirror and call it a day. |

Please confirm, I only ask as I've just taken delivery of the M2C and just sold my M4 with an MPE and a VSC 2 . . . . which is really annoying, as now I'll have to buy another. |

Correct. CG precision labels it as the "2015+ BMW M4 F82" model.

I called CG Precision and they think the VSC-1 will work. They believe BMW has installed a splitter so that they could run the dual valve system of the M2C while using the same wiring harness they used on the OG M2. They encouraged me to wait until my car is here. I'd love your thoughts on whether or not that sounds plausible to you...or better yet a picture of the valves and the wiring.

Thanks for checking. I'm just going to return my VSC-1 and get the VSC-2 I'd rather having something that has been confirmed to work. Thanks for posting up your experience with the product.
