Hey Buddy, just checked my obd2 scanner and now all my tests are complete and no codes. Fingers crossed the combo of new o2 sensors and spacers did the trick and hope that the p0430 and p0420 will not return. As for my naviks install, I still haven't figured out the camera but the gps and naviks are powered up. Getting closer and will write complete DIY for everyone when finished..
what brand O2 sensors did you go with? Are they simulators?It sounds like you are really close on the naviks install. It seems you have been getting some good input from some of the guys. If I lived closer I would certainly offer some hands on help!

That is some GREAT news Lex!!! what brand O2 sensors did you go with? Are they simulators?

By the way, spacers are often called simulators but are not necessary the same thing. Spacers are just a metal tube that extend the difference between the O2 sensor and exhaust, which is thought to reduce the amount of emissions the O2 sensors detect. Simulators are a chip and trick the computer. It seems that the efficacy of simulators is questionable, but the spacers seem to work for a lot of people..
