Did you buy it new? Many bought the module to give the older cars BT which may be the case with your car.Originally Posted by muscleparts

Someone correct me if I'm mistaken, but I believe 2009.5's have an L in the VIN??

My earlier 09 has an L... There is a vin break in the last several digits though. In the last 6 digits, if it's 300000 or higher, it's an 09.5. I think it's 3 anyway.
