Which Dinan Valve Remote did you get? Single or Dual.

I don’t think 207 works on 23 models , I couldn’t get any power out of it but 273 should work too

What fuse size/tap should I get? I can’t find any details around it. Is it an ATC fuse?

Should i get something like this?

I have a 23 and 207 works. Engine needs to be running. Not in accessory mode not in run position. Engine actually needs to be on and running.

Can anyone link to a fuse tap that works for a '23? All the fuse taps I'm purchasing fall right out of the slot. Thanks!

Out of stock and backorder most likely. They have been around for a long time.

I'd open a warranty request with the manufacturer to fix or replace it.

Thanks for the write up! Just installed perfectly on my 24 g80. Question though.. what does the yellow button do on the remote?

Glad to help! It doesn't do anything, it's a generic remote.

Enjoy the roar!

So asking on this thread instead of starting a new one. I had the dinan controller and complete exhaust system installed a few weeks ago. Works great, however I was driving with the valves closed hit a light bump and heard a massive metallic rattling in the rear. When my valves are closed now it sounds like just a slight tinging noise, almost like the valves are loose or something. I emailed dinan and they said to bring it back to the installer to make sure the valves are lined up. I'd rather not have to bring it back to the dealership right now and try to troubleshoot at home. Anyone have any ideas on what to do here? Or what he might mean by the valves not lining up? Thanks.
