Hi All.
Ive had a Nanocom unit for a few years now and recently upgraded to a P38, I went on to the website and while purchasing new licences i noticed the price of the new cable. €52 for the green cable + shipping €24.47 = €76.47 + VAT = €94 delivered, now thats on top of my €184 for a new licence. This is not a dig at BBS, im quite happy to pay for the licences but if i am able to make my own cable then i think im happy to try. Personally im a tight Bast#rd and id rather spend that on something else that needs doing
So a big shout out goes to Rushjob who actually gave me the wiring info i just kinda put it together and thought id put it in a thread for future reference for someone else.
oh so here goes.......
1) First you need to buy 1 of each of these for either Green or Blue cable
