EDFC - New Design! Black Control Module Housing...
TEIN has redesigned their Electronic Damping Force Controller.
The new unit comes with a black control module and smaller motors. The new module is non compatible with the old motors and vice versa.
I believe the light up display is not green anymore but a whitish blue.

but if the new model is the same, you can only adjust manually to a sporty ride or a softer ride. Sporty=more bumpy=more stiff and is better for racing. You can feel every bump on the road with the stiffest setting, but you would have more control.

Sun of a gun It is not going to be compatible with the Tein SS, if I got this correct. On the website it says that the new EDFC is only compatable with the mono flex and comfort sport dampers. Why do we always get screwed over

You will need to order the TEIN Super Street Dampers, which will include the full assembly of shocks and springs.
I've been running these for 54,000 miles and so far no problems.

My brother came over and insisted we attempt to plug the new module up to the existing motors from the original EDFC. I told him that's fine and so we did. Apparently the new module DOES WORK with the original motors. I'm not sure why TEIN has this listed as them being noncompatible.
The display is still green, but if i remember correctly the original is a little different color green...the new one is greener if you will.
So now I am able to adjust the dampening from the driver seat once again. It has been stuck on level 14 ever since the original module was stolen.
If anyone feels the need to break the window on my TL and steal this new module, please don't do that...Just leave a note on my car with your number and i'll buy you one. Thanks.

haha that's funny but at the same time its not a laughing matter!! I was upset because at first i didnt think the guy got away with anything because when i looked in the window the radar detector was in the seat...so i assumed that if the radar detector never made it out then nothing else would be gone. Apparently the EDFC module was the primary target and i finally realized it was missing 24 hours later.
..send the payment via paypal and i'll send it ups ground...should arrive in jersey in 2 business days. j/k!
How much of a pain was it to wire those motors up?!

Tein has it listed on their website that the new module isn't compatible with the old motors, but according to the results of the experiment,..the motors seem to adjust without any problems.
It definitely wouldn't have been fun to rewire the entire system.

I just called Tein and spoke to Joe in the tech dept and he confirmed that the new black module will work just fine with the old motors.
