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.

HOPE YOU READ THIS BEFORE YOU G BACK..
sit in car,
start engine,
have steering wheel in straight ahead position
without pausing, turn wheel slowly all the way to the left and pause at the end for a second or 2
withouth pasing, turn all the way to the right and pause at the end for a second or 2
repeat the last 2 steps and end in the straight ahead position.
turn off car, wait a minute, restart, and drive away for a few hundred feet.
you just calibrated your SZL ( steering wheel sensor to tell dsc if wheel is turned and to what degree)
other lights come on by default.
Good Luck...
