  1. Hi, Unfortunately I can not recommend the 123Ignition. As nice as the Bluetooth tunability is, if something should go wrong you are on your own it seems (depending on the local distributor). Mine failed within 40km and I have been told straight out that it is user error, with something that is not even listed in their manual as to take special caution. Apparently I mounted the distributor cap not perfectly straight from the top, causing the carbon pin in the center to break. Running the ignition like this the apparently means that the 'current will find a way and discharges through the base, damaging the electronics'. To me their explanation does not make sense, and I have been unable to get a technical explanation why my supposed user error should destroy the electronics either by email or phone. This has now been the case with the German distributor (123ignition.de) and the direct contact at the headquarters (albertronic). The call ended with me being told that I am: "One of those customers that can not be satisfied, even if it runs perfectly you start worrying about wear on the rotor and the cap". Over the lifetime of the ignition this connection will break eventually, it is designed like this with the wear items cap & rotor. To my best knowledge I have to assume from what they say, that if your rotor or cap fails, the electronic gets busted as well. To be fair, this is not what I actually think. I am pretty sure the electronic survives this and I have a faulty unit from manufacturing, which they refuse to replace on warranty. In any case, everyone can make up their own mind according to the emails below: Answer: After that mail I phoned the number in the signature and had a very fruitless call. I will now swallow the loss and leave it at that. Best, Nils
  2. Thank you! This is gold for me . I have a 05L that I wan't to use for a hot L24. But since they are quite rare around here I have no second head to cut and study. best, Nils
