DSC Module DEAD

Ok folks here is the deal, I had a steering angle
Sensor go out and now I'm being told
the DSC module needs to be replaced.

Let me provide a quick timeline.

Had car professionally detailed, engine and all. (Very reputable and highly respected person, probably one of the best in the country) but figured I would add this in case it's an important variable.

The following week, had issues/ see video at end of post.... by the way the battery drained while car was parked after fresh charge, Indicator of something drawing current...

So I took it over to PSI here in Orlando and they said it was the steering angle sensor. So I had them replace it and figured I would also go ahead and have them install the Active tune.

Went to pick the car up today and was told I now had no ABS/DSC because the module went bad.

Apparently this had nothing to do with the tune and only discovered once the SAC was replaced because if I would have known I would have held off on the tune...to confirm one had nothing to do with the other.

So I have two questions...

First, What do you guys think about the serious of events?

Second, do any of you have a line on a DSC module, preferably from a salvaged car, brand new is ridiculous in price...

Video taken before I took the car in but after diagnosis saying it was the SAC

I would first invest in a GT1 knockoff and DIS and/or Rheingold and do a thorough scan before spending big bucks on modules.

To be honest I have no clue what you just said. Any chance you can elaborate or provide connection info so I can do some research?

Thank you sir
