Yea, I am having to open with the key which is fine. But would be nice if it didnt fail. Does the communication between the key and the module in the car just die down eventually? I wonder if re flowing the solder on the key fob circuit board might work?

Yes, I installed all this stuff with the car on jack stands on the back patio.

I personally won't put any part of my body under a car held up by those ratchet style jack stands. I like the ones made by Essco. I also bought some Quick Jacks a few months ago (which I have yet to unbox) so my jack stand days may have peaked.

Oh that’s great to know. Yours look very similar to mine as it’s also silver with the grey interior! What suspension is that? M030? How does it ride? Saw this as an upgrade so been thinking between those or coilovers. Yours looks really nice

Yes, it's ROW M030 and it rides nice. I paid $1,400 for it back in 2017 from Sunset. I just checked and it's now $3,040 which is getting in to coil over money.
