In my very recent searches I have seen the steps for £999, the brainbox for £100.

I was told by a dealership the biggest problem on 09's and 2010's were the electric steps and pre heaters for battery drain ...... |

Battery drain was a serious issue for us on a 2010 picked up in March 2010. It failed to start on at least 4 occassions due to high battery drain. Since had lots of software and lurve from the Stealer (couple a months ago) and been a good girl ever since |

Adam I wouldnt bother - expensive to buy with the ECUs aswell and the fitting costs

My Dad has them on hi 2010 Vogue SE and they have proved to be a bit temperamental i.e.; you can open a boor , the car recognizes this and the lights come on but the step doesn't deploy . 2008 MY Supercharged

I need deployable site steps soooo bad! Obviously I dont really, but it would be a nice retrofit if available. I read though that system integration to a 2003 is nearly impossible? |

I thought that it wasn't possible with any thing before 2009 but I'm nearly always wrong. Must say they are very cool when you see them working. |

I'd love an FFRR with these fitted - I think they're the perfect compromise, not to mention the whole gadget factor thing.

Got a set on my latest 2008MY FFRR. Had no problems with battery drain or not deploying when door opens (maybe the ECU is faulty, axle).
