Hey All

Anyone know if it's possible to have a VCI code requested (officially) and programmed to the car without the part it's being installed to control being installed in the car?

Thanks

Indeed you did mate! I'm totally nackered spent 5 hours today getting the bumper off and looking for the headlight harness so I could wire in the new loom rusty made for me but it doesn't seem to exist! And I have no time to try again any time soon to see if it's there (pretty sure it aint though) and had someone lined up to do the VCI next week!

Hmmm if I can then that would be great as then it gives me time to find the mystery harness ha. I'll ring the bloke doing the VCI for me tomorrow and see what he thinks as at the end of the day he'd the one who's gonna say yes or no ain't he whether he's right or wrong
