The only thing you need to check for is the red V3 flash module pictured here. As long as that's included (and functional),​ you're good to go.  The V3 cable is not considered a critical item.  You can easily purchase a replacement for a missing V3 datalogging cable directly off [[https://​www.ecmtuning.com/​product/​datacable|our website]].
