Hey, JungleJoe! Did you ever get the issue resolved with your turn signal indicator (flashing a fault) after your custom dynamics install? I'm having the exact same problem and the procedure they sent me did not clear the fault. Any help appreciated!

CD Magic Strobe Update
I originally purchased the CD Magic Strobe back in June for my 14 SGS w/ CD LEDs all around and a CD Tri-Bar. No Fillers though. I tested the unit and had problems. CD send me a diode that needed to be posi-taped/spiced into the unit. I complained and returned the unit.
In August, I received an email from them stating the problem was fixed. I also saw messages here to the same. So I waited until now hoping old stock was cleared out and added it to my winter upgrade list.
I installed the new unit today and I still have problems. The Right turn indicator has a fast flash but the left indicator is normal. Ran the 4-ways for 10 minutes - twice - no better. Emailed CD and they had me provide them the BSD error codes. The result - they wanted to send me a CAN ADAPTER that has to be posi-tapped into the unit.
SO, for me at least, the CD Magic Strobe unit is still a no-go. I am returning the unit for a second time and looking for a truly plug-and-play brake light flasher module. I simply refuse to have any spliced wires, especially for a brake light. It's a safety issue for me.
I think the CD LEDs turn/brake lights are the best in the market. I am very happy with mine. But the CD Magic Strobe is something they can't seem to get right. Very disappointing. Hope this helps someone else.

I hate to hear that they still haven't got it right. I feel the same way you do. I want it to be plug-and-play. We shouldn't have to be splicing anything.

Just had rear LED inserts, Tri-bar and Magic Strobe installed at the dealership. Everything works likes it's supposed too except I'm getting a fast blink on the dash indicators. I tried syncing them twice with the 4-ways and the sync works perfectly with the 4-ways on but when I use either one of the turn signals I get the fast blink again. Anyone else have this happen?

She said it had a 5 year warranty and I agree it should have been a freebie or at least been discounted for my troubles. But who says I have to give them the feedback? I paid for it so I don't owe them anything. Maybe I will offer them the report for $89.95.

Any news on the CD Magic Strobe brake flasher lately? Did they work the kinks out? Are they selling the unit that doesn't need a diode hack-n-tapped into it yet? I wanted to check them out at Americade, but we never got a chance to get to the vendor area (long story,) plus I'm not even sure if they were there.

Just installed the Magic Strobe on my RG last weekend along with the dual intensity tri bar and 1157 replacement LEDs. Works great and all plug and play.
The magic strobe does require all LEDs. No incandescent bulbs
