thanks for the info guys. keep in mind the stereo was just a simple radio install that had a blue tooth mic that was ran up to the rear view mirror. Nothing else ie speakers amp nothing else aftermarket was installed other than the HID kit and that was done the way that this forum says to do it. the reason for the inital post was trying to compile some info so we could have a bit of a valid argument by showing that its "common" to have issues with thes vehicles. I guess the point i have not been thinking about is what actually caused the BCM issue rather than thinking the BCM was at fault? We have definatly thought about the fact of it being a few days later but im sure a judge wont quite see it as easliy as that
