Yes I have fitted them to both a 912 and a 911. Just about the best upgrade I did to my 912. Rock solid idle, the advance has been proven with a timing gun to be spot on. A fit and forget upgrade.
Follow the instructions that come with it and set and check the timing, and Robert is your mothers brother!
Go with the standard one where you set the curve via the rotary switch. Bluetooth is a bit overkill unless you are building a performance engine with different cam etc.

The only thing I would say is that you need to make sure that you have the HT leads in the right position.

Put the standard one on mine and it's worked perfectly.
I think the bluetooth one has some sort of anti theft thingy you can lock from your phone app which I liked the idea of.

Perfect timing (pardon the pun) ! I was just discussing 123 Distributors this morning. Post an update and some pictures of the 912 fitment when you get it sorted Danny

Cheers

CSP in Germany do one within a stock size body using the 123 technology.

Southern Carbs in Crawley have them in stock.
Ask for a cheeky discount and you may be surprised!
