I'm not sure you'd say they were "brand new" in the accepted sense..ie..it's my understanding (I may be wrong) that they are simply refurbed units.
Subsequently they are STILL badly designed parts and will fail eventually just as the original one's did.
I wouldn't accuse them of being "bullet proof".! (irrelevant of the sticker colour!)..but they should last a while I guess.?
I think the accepted BEST route is XeModex...they rebuild with solid state parts (I believe) that will NOT fail...BUT...they ain't cheap...in excess of £500.
The ETM comes from Canada (already "programmed" to your car because you supply them your VIN when you order it)..and when you get it you replace your old one with it and then send the old one back to them.. then they rebuild that unit ready for sale to someone down the line...That's how I believe it works at least.?
