Which adapters did you use on the rear 996 calipers? Any machining required on the calipers to make them fit?

Okay so there’s no option to use rear fogs as brake or turn signals like I thought in NCS, but there are a couple things that may be related. Going to have to probe around in there, and if there’s no way to do it like the X5, I’ll put a converter box on the inlet side of the trailer module. That’ll keep the detection/PDC disable while guaranteeing the lights work correctly.

The settings in NCS expert that I need to play with (AH and AHM):




While I had NCS expert open, I corrected my FA to include all the retrofits I’ve done:
$464 - ski bag
$508 - park distance control
$521 - rain sensor
$710 - M leather steering wheel
$716 - m-tech 2 aero kit
$760 - high gloss shadowline
$772 - black cube trim
$775 - anthracite headliner
$7MA - M3 competition package (brake bias, m-track, steering rack)

And while I'm in there running PDC harnesses, I'll be running the two/four wires necessary for the OEM tow hitch module. Again using one from an e53 because those are intended for US trailers (although I'd bet they're the same internally)

Morning update: late style e53 buttons work the same, we’re on.

Brake update: very much silent still on the red brakes after 500 miles or so.

Side project update: Looks like Front + Rear PDC retrofit is pretty trivial, got it all working on the bench. I’ll be using f01 black sapphire sensors in the rear bumper in place of the giant factory ones, and flat black/unpainted sensors in the front bumper strip in an attempt to avoid drilling/cutting the bumper support beam. By retrofitting the e39/e53 stuff, that also means my rear PDC beeps will actually come from the rear of the car, instead of under my feet.
Front e39 retrofit harness PN: 61-12-0-027-997
Main/power e39 retrofit harness PN: 61-12-0-027-006
Rear e46 harness PN: 61-11-6-930-771
f01/02 self-adhesive bumper mounts for the f01 sensors: 51-12-2-147-035

Anyone want to donate an M3 switch console that has the roller blind in it? I need the extra button location for the PDC button now. Late model e53 uses the e46 style buttons which should swap right out for the roller blind with a quick white wire job inside the switch center enclosure.

Warning, beeping noises are loud, louder than my voice:
