Here is the trade off, install the resistors and if you get it right, everytime you start your car you will have to clear the codes that the shocks will set. Or you can buy the LAPD units for $200 and not reset codes... or you can get someone with a Tech II (Friend, Dealer) to turn off the feature on your car with NO CODES TO RESET EACH TIME YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, and no $200 plugin's

Do whatever is best for you, it is your car.

I brought the directions on how to do it with a tech2 to my friendly dealer with a 20 and had him disable the F45. It worked great! Do a search on the forum for it. Sorry I don't have it handy.
