2003 S40 Fog Lamp install

Post by glenh2nd »

I bought a factory fog lamp kit from my local dealer and after reading the instructions I found that the CEM has to be reprogrammed to make them work?
This accessory is connected to the electrical system of the vehicle and requires special settings from the central electronic modul (CEM) functions via Vadis car communication.
I work for a Dodge Chrysler dealership and I know all about flashing the computer on the car and know that it takes a maximum of 10 - 20 minutes to do this. When I called the dealership they told me I have to pay $45 for the program and $65 for installation :shock: . What a crock of %^&$&^%# :x

Does anyone know if there is any other way of programming the car without having to give the local dealer $110 for 10 minutes of work?

Thanks ahead of time!
