G30 530ix Dinantronics: frustration of elite...

Ordered a Dinantronics Elite for G30 530ix.

Car has 2500 miles on the clock.

Installation: connectors of the harness are not correctly labeled. There are only 2 connectors and labels were wrong. Dinan's response is: on some applications connectors can be labeled backwards....

Results: Big frustration.

Check Engine Light is ON.

Power and Torque are down by % 30-40. How do I know?

A) I was expecting car to be faster. It became slower. From 5000 rpm till rev limiter engine was unwilling.

B) Gauges showed 170 hp and 210 lb/ft.

Removed dinan box.

CEL is still ON, but now the car feels fast, and gauges indicate correct power and torque figures.

Dinan accepted to refund.

Being a Dinan customer since 1996, this is my last dinan purchase.

I wish other 530i owners wont go through the painful route I did....

not refunded yet, as its an international order, Dinan should arrange for a pick up. Once they receive the box, they are supposed to refund.

I am disappointed...

Box sent back to dinan.

Waiting for refund.

the company is not confident about its G30 box, they immediately accepted refund.

I was waiting for a replacement unit, they did not offer to replace.

Even if they would offer a replacement, I would not accept.

enough....
