Iggy's Humble Beginnings
Purchased January 4th, 2016
Even just one day in I was Off Road with it!

Disclaimer: These mods are thoroughly researched and planned before installed. I am also a Self Trained professional when it comes to stuff like this. I assume no responsibility for modifications to your Vehicle that may result in the loss of life, injury or loss of vehicle due to fire. Please use my mod ideas responsibly and when in doubt please ask. I will gladly share my knowledge with you. I am also a master of VCDS so any coding changes on any and all modules are at your own risk. When I doubt cancel it out and write down any coding before modifications are made a simple digit off can render a module useless.
Also one more note EEPROM is getting to be the way things are coded. When you see the EEPROM notice DO NOT Change Coding Without the proper device. I have bricked a CECM by messing with lighting coding.
So have fun and enjoy all these pages of mods and information. ---------------
