Also I read we need a PSU to power the car for longer programming exercises. I built a list of the options and went to Mong Kok Hak Po Road last night, but no-one has anything close. They pointed me to Ap Liu Street in SSP, so I will go there and try and source the PSU (another 3000 - 4000 HKD :-(). There is a real danger of bricking your ECUs apparently if you don't use one and the battery runs out during coding/programming. :-( Hopefully I can find something, will let you know.

Keep me posted. We can buy this online from the US.
On the BT retrofit, I was advised that the coding won't take much time, unless we hit problems!!!

A better image or description would be helpful. I don't know how to remove the trim there safely.

It shows clearly where is the location of the MOST; I have not checked it out yet though.
Taking off the trims is not a difficult job, you will need a plastic head screwdriver (or a plastic flat rice spoon), you just need to know the position of the clips and exercise some caution...
