Is the biggest difference between the IMS retrofit and IMS solution price and longevity? It looks like the retrofit is good for 75K and the solution is lifetime with about a $1000 difference in price. I don’t plan to track the car. Just a Sunday driver. Are there any statistics on the IMS retrofit failing after a certain amount of time or mileage? Or is it worth the extra $1000 to install the IMS solution?
I changed my 99 tip at 133kms. If you replace it no more worries. That grand wont look that big if it goes kablammo.
