Default BEM upgrade

am wanting to fit a high series BEM to AU xl ute...

im guessing its not a plug and play exercise...

are the plugs and pin assignments much different?

I have a pink high series BEM sitting around at home ... but AFAIK it's a Series 2/3 BEM.

I may not work if you have a Series 1 with Smartlock.

The only thing that needs to be done afterwards is get your keys retrained from memory ... and that would need to be done through the WDS system at Ford.
