soldered/crimped my own extensions to the VSC-2 controller cables, since the reach was impossible with the stock cables and too tight for comfort with the vsc-2 default cable length.

used crimps and heat shrink, then wrapped the entire extension part in heat shield from amazon.

so unable to clear error codes about exhaust flaps... i bought the dahler valve controller. codes where present and could not clear them with bimmerlink or ISTA D software.

immediately after installing the dahler controller, i was able to clear the codes with bimmerlink. the wires reached the akrapovic exhaust valves, but it was tight as well. i wish dahler sold or the controller came with the extensions their exhaust comes with.

dahler, like vsc-2 was easy to program to homelink buttons.

dahler, unlike vsc-2, you can program the default mode, open or factory by holding the open/close buttons down for 2-3 seconds. dahler can also be programmed to remember the last mode selected (before the car was turned off) by holding down the close button for 5-7 seconds. when you do either of these, the flaps open/close 3 times to indicate programming is complete (only if car is running).

is the dahler worth 3x the cost? no. am i happy with it, sure. and probably because of the price, it was in stock in usa and delivered in a few days
