Hi guys. Ive never posted before but couldn't help myself after reading this thread.

How did you all get on? I thought i'd share my own experience.

I bought my BP5 Legacy from a dealer with Jap sat nav but pulled it out and put the NZ new cubby hole in instead. I wanted a clock/trip counter but they were stupidly expensive. So i did exactly what has been suggested here.

I took a gamble and bought a non-working one from a wreckers for $100. When i got it home i pulled it apart and scoured the main board with a magnifying glass and found one small resistor with a very hard to see hairline crack in the solder join. From memory it was the 501 resistor but it was a while ago now. The annoying thing was the position. It was directly underneath the LCD display panel itself.

So i de-soldered the main LCD (using de-solder wick) and removed it, resoldered the cracked join (i couldn't see any other problems so soldered only the one join), re-attached the main LCD and re-assembled the clock.

It worked straight away and hasn't failed in more than a year since i did it.

This saved me having to buy a very expensive component and so long as you have some basic soldering skills i would suggest that anyone could do it. Of course, having said that, anytime you tootu with electronics you do so at your own risk!

Anyways, i hope this helps and good luck!

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
