Default LM5C Older Version?

Hi, I purchased a used C5 and I know they previous owner installed a LM5C. However I am still getting the pull the key notice. I tried to do the brown wire dealio, but I don't see a brown wire coming from the LM5C. Is it supposed to have one? Is this an older one? Or am I completely misunderstanding what the brown wire dealio is?

The brown is on the LCM5, I was getting the pull key message until I did the brown wire mod. Others have said call the company and talk to them about it .

http://www.complianceparts.com You must have the older version.

As mentioned in other post, you most likely have an older LMC5 which did not have the brown wire. That's what happened to me. I called Richard at Compliance. He was very helpful. He sent me a new LMC5.
The instruction for the brown wire mod are at the bottom of this pdf. If you can't do this mod then you have an older LMC5.
