I had my coder call and get sFome gracious help from Tom at EAS along the way. Ultimately, I had to re-arrange the wires just to get my reverse lamp to work. Now everything works, but I live with a constant dash 2-stage brake light error (happened after I rearranged the wires- but hey at least everything works now). I'll probably send my car all the way to IND to get some crazy mods and I'm hopeful their supercoder can just permanently turn this damn dash warning off. Anyway, I just thought I'd warn you this may not always be easy as it sounds.
Coupes don't have this problem - this is the first time I've seen it on a Sedan, possibly it could be an early build.

It sounds like the pin for the Brake Force Display (BFD) is out of place, I would look into correcting it rather than disabling it.
