Can’t seem to find the answer here so posting instead. Anyone know where the valve harnesses are located on the G05 LCI xdrive 40i msport exhaust?

Got under the rear but don’t see them. Guessing they are under the plastic cover? About to pop in a valve controller.

Just installed the 11Mode on mine, NGL had to look up myself to find where it is 😂. On the driver side, it’s tucked in right inside that trim piece adjacent to the tire. Right above where a winglet would go. Once you found that one, it’s kinda in a similar position on the opposite side as well.

I’m trying to install the exact same one. Do I need to remove any of the plastic shielding underneath the car or it’s accessible without removing any of that plastic?

I managed to do it without removing any parts. You don’t have a lot of wiggle room, but you can still do it without much hassle. One thing that gave me bit of a hard time is on the passer side, the harness that’s holding the 11Mode plug was a bit loose, so I had to hold it in place with one hand while trying to push the car valve controller into it.

It’s adjacent to the tire towards the rear right? I’m not seeing what I think I should be seeing. I’ll send you $20 if you can stick your phone under your car and take a pic for me 😂

Found it. Turns out my vehicle only has 1 valve and it’s on the passenger side. I kept checking under the drivers side and wondering why I didn’t see something that should have been pretty easy to spot. Appreciate your help!

Awesome! Glad that you found it. The cold starts with the valves open are 👌👌

I like letting my neighbors know I’m leaving 😂
Did you program the remote to your mirror?

Yes!! It was very straight forward.
