Hello,

So I've been a lurker on here and the subreddit for a while and I finally need to post a question. Recently my LG drive has been making weird noises every time I turn it on and I fear that it's on it's last leg. So I ordered two of the Pioneer BDR-212Vs from the Amazon listing that's been blowing up (fingers crossed they're pre-December 2022). I am aware that I need to email Billy for the flasher but I've also seen people messaging Cooper for it as well. I'm a little confused about what the difference is between messaging Billy or Cooper for the flasher and just needed a little more clarification.

Thank you. Simple instructions, easy to flash, took a few seconds.

I can recommend the 212v. Mine was purchased from Amazon for $90 last week and it's brand new, manufactured in March 2024, shipped with May 2022 firmware.
