Hey I got that starter kit in today
Have to say you weren't kidding about plug and play. Havent put it in yet but its definitely plug and play and instructions are nice too.
To bad dratv never even e mail me back from when I first put in my new relay and had issues with it working, since they dont want anyone to call
all they had to do is say its normal or hey there is a fix go to this site
I only stumbled on this site and the post just recently
Now I know its a common problem either with all of the relays or the new ones we all buy
Thanks for making such a nice product, I thought I was going to have to cobble something together from all over the internet
