The alternative is indeed what demge01 said =)



@demge01: thanks for the compliments. I'm really just a regular guy who likes to spam a bit on the forums =)
Then keep the spam coming!


I ended up building my own cable from the opened ended one available on amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ls_o01_s00_i00

Really easy to do. I just used a 510 ohm .25w 2% resistor and spliced a sacrificed cat5 patch cable that had a ground shield on it already; otherwise I would have just crimped a plain RJ45 connector to it.

The cable worked on the first try and I made 3 separate backup copies of the CAF files just to be safe (I come from paranoid side of IT).

It did take me 3 days after first loading the CAF files to get up the courage to actually change stuff on my car. My wife would kill me if I bricked it!

Now that the changes are in, they are really cool and make the car so much better.

Thanks again for your efforts and the efforts of the F10 guys.
