04/05 AP2 to DBW + new ECU
I searched around I don't think this topic has been discussed before. Bascially, what would it take (parts, cost) to convert a 04/05 AP2 into a 06+ ap2? Does anyone know?

Totally new wiring harness, possibly new wheel sensors, new ECU, new throttle body?, VSA hardware (likely a yaw sensor near the car's center of gravity), etc.
Sell your 2005 and get a 2006 instead. Easier, more reliable, and "it just works".

i guess he is not saying reliable as in it will last longer. just that it is kinda like a traction control. for example in the rain, if you stomp on the gas of and MY05 you would spin out of control. but do the same in a MY06 with vsa on and the gas would shut off and you would go about 10 miles an hour(i tired/tested). and it would take a lot of crap to switch it all out. also someone never mentioned this but i notice it about a month ago working on my car and my friend's, the intake manifold is different. the MY06 does not have a sensor on the side.
