The conversion was completed over the Holidays.
The damage was somewhat over 3K$ to get that done because they didn't succeed in reprogramming the VMS (1K$), they ended up changing it.
This is the list of parts (except for labels, screws, tie wraps) that were changed:
6002883 - INSTRUMENT PACK,ROADSTER (EUR) -- mi/h to km/h
6003892 - KIT, ALARM, EU, R2 -- keyfob with immobilization system per Transport Canada standards
6004588 - Module,Veh Mgmt Sys (VMS), EU GSM w/res. -- permanent daylight, mi to km odometer
2002011 - ALPHA - MODULE,HOMELINK -- yes, you're reading right, the garage door opener!!!... :cursing:
The <...self-censured...> thing is not standard in US and Canada and is integrated with Canadian/European VMS, so they had to change it too.
Part 1, the 'Import' is done, my roadster is now Canadian following the Canadian Tire Inspection yesterday, our Federal Government is now happy!
This took a huge 10 minutes so that the Canadian government can mail me a small sticker to put into the door next week...which was the ultimate goal of all these changes!
This, I had 45 days to achieve and it pretty much just came into that period with all of the Christmas Holidays.
BUT it's not gone through part 2, the Quebec provincial's government inspection process which is yet something different!
This will wait until spring as the car is now in my garage for the winter period.
This will be a 'mechanical' inspection!!! ...so nothing to prepare for, except changing the rear tires...
Which as I understand, is our most expensive maintenance costs!
Looking forward to see the face of the ICE mechanics who lifts the hood and starts looking for the spark plugs!
