Well, got my car back today and the dealer only charged me 2:55 of labor, which is over 25% less than the 4 hours they quoted me, so I'm pretty happy. Except that on the way home, the car threw some weird faults - "BRAKE" illuminated in yellow, little DSC symbol always on as if DSC turned off, and big yellow exclamation point in a yellow circle. I'm a little peeved that these didn't turn up in the road test, but to be fair, it was only after 10 or 15 minutes of driving that they came on. By then it was too late to turn around and make it back to the dealer before closing time, so I will have to go back one of these days after work - hopefully they can just clear them and I'll be on my way. I guess worst case scenario is that they fried the DSC module or something.

Anyway, I'll post a short review about the system after have spent a few more days with it and have some more time - probably this weekend.

Also, to those that say coding is not needed for this kit - I don't know. I asked for and received the "final report" (or, in this case, the "informe final") from the programming station and got an additional 4 pages of jargon and acronyms (all in Spanish, of course), plus numerical codes, added to my invoice. They were definitely busy doing something.
