I got the VSC-2 installed and can confirm that it work perfectly with the OG N55 M2 MPE. I ordered it with Default Close and Active Open oriantation. This is the more OEM way IMO. Cold start in the morning is not super loud and open with the garage opener bottom under the mirror - much better than the stupid BT controller that you need to decide whether need to find a place to store it or lose a cup holder. 100% plug and play and I am super happy with this mod.

Did you order the VSC-2 "standard wiring" right off the website? Their site also lists a version for "Modified wiring for dual valve exhaust on single valve wired cars." I have been unable to contact CG to verify. Did you install yourself? I assume there is zero need for the Bluetooth controller but do you still need the Bluetooth module powered on in the trunk? |

Thank you. For the grounds I used solderless ring lugs and then connected them to the rear battery hold down.
I connected the red power to the fifth fuse from the bottom on the left side of the fuse box. And yes the oem mpe button will work just as well as it did (or didn't ) as before. Mark |

Got it all setup, thanks again! I used a accessory power fuse, was worried it would drain my battery on an always on one. One issue is that when the relay loses power it switches to the flap open. Can I change something to switch to closed on power off?

Not that I know of. My understanding is that when it looses power it opens the switch thereby closing the valves. I have been running this setup for over a year with a few two week periods of not driving the car with no issues of the battery being drained so I wouldn't worry too much about that. Mark |

Is this the valve controller? https://x-ph.com/cg-precision-vsc-2-...nd-controller/ So you bought the VSC-2. How did you wire up to the valves? ANY help would be appreciated. Thank you!

The VSC-2 comes with 2 pairs of female and male connectors (4 in total). You need to unplug the original wiring connection at the value actuators. Have the wiring side plugged into the VSC-2's female/male connections, then take the remaining VSC-2 connectors to the valve actuators. |

Did you mount the VSC box to the chassis? How did you fasten it? I've also read a thread that you can get access to the actuator from the trunk, which would make it much easier to access the plugs, as the actuators are on top of the exhaust, not on the side like the F80

1. Did it work for you? Loving it! Never need to glance at the BT controller or keep my ears up to check if the valve is still open. 2. You said you installed it in 15 minutes. What specifically did you need to do? I crawled under the car yesterday, I can see the actuators but could not remove those without dropping the exhaust. Did you simple plug and play? If so what did you plug/play specifically? You don't need to remove the actuators themselves. Just need to disconnect the wiring connectors. Mounting is direct as well. If I recall correctly, I mounted using a screw from the actuator following the manual instruction. I did had to unscrew the heat shield to tug the wires behind it. 3. I'm assuming you were able to program the homelink? Yes, exactly how you would pair a garage remote to your HomeLink. |

Zero movement or anything. I hope VSC will take the controller back to swap for one that works. Bummer, what a waste of money.
