I have a GS430 2004 and made the mistake of hooking up this GFORCE performance chip I got for christmas.
I asked them to send me a wire digram to make sure I connected the wire clips to the right two wires. They did, so I did what they instructed. The moment I started the car I could tell it was running rough... I got the check engine light and VSC lights on also so I turned off the car and disconnected the chip.
I took the car into the shop and it ended up being the mother board. The G-Force chip fried it and it cost $1000 to get repaired...
I did everything as they told me and my mechanic (who had done a full inspection on the car one month earlier and said it was in amazing condition) verified that I did tap into the two wires they tell you to... So just a warning this could happen to you and your car also.
Another heads up to anyone considering that GFORCE CHIP. They promise a full 100% refund if your not satisfied.
But what you don't know is that buried in the small fine print in the long terms and conditions (if you were to bother reading them) is that they charge a 25% restocking fee! So you pay 69.00 shipping = $74.95. Then you have to pay to ship it back ($5.95) so your $80 into this mess. This is after the damage to my car so add $990.00 to fix it. So now I'm at $1,070.90 and all they refunded me was $51.75 when I was expecting the $69.00 back. No wonder they offer 100% money back guarantee. They make $17.25 off every return as well.
I asked several time for someone to call me and let me know if they were going to help pay for the damages to my car and I still can't get any reply.
