Awesome, glad I asked! For the record put me down for one Premium - may as well go big or go home. Sucks about your facility but the sun gods are shining on you to get into a newer more modern facility :)

BruceH 10-16-2017 05:29 AM
Wow, that looks great Fred! Good luck with the new shop :cheers:

steved0x 10-16-2017 05:42 AM
Ok I'm in for a premium, I can't take it any more.

Edit - I will take the one that is the top of the line but with no license - I will add my own license if that is still an option.

Thumper 10-16-2017 06:12 AM
I'm in for a premium as well

Aggromuffin 10-16-2017 09:02 AM
I'd like to put my name in for premium as well. Is there a pricing chart so far? TIA!

Put me down for a Premium also. Cheers.

redciv1 11-06-2017 01:00 PM
Put me down for 1, not sure which one.

Jeturne 11-10-2017 08:06 AM
I just ran across this...apparently I need to explore the DIY section a bit more often. Looks like great work, Fred. Please put me down for a platinum...

thanks

I probably missed it scanning through the thread, but what's the cost on this?

R&D machines and my yellow toolbox have finially moved!
 
Might end up cheaper now that the shop rental is 50% less than what was paid for before :D

That is what you get for $1700/month here in Shanghai High Tech industrial park. You get a nice Shoe-Box-Size room lolll Old pic from last week below... its all done now I'm being told (220V/380V, new paint job, doors, new locks, running hot water, small hvac unit, etc)

Unwrapping and switching ON those two machines this coming Saturday morning!!!

Saw a bunch of images. Is there a finished product picture yet? Will there be a video of this working?

Man, if I take vids of this thing in my dash you will simply catch a heart attack in your chest. As in "Porsche 986.1 retrofit 2012"

We'll give that a wait I think ;)

First-thing-First; got to order a quality coffee machine and some fine grains for that Mega Factory to power up this Saturday!

News? Yea... We have a fully functional prototype that delivers twice more than I've anticipated. Really cool kit, small, and powerful. Works also... the coolest part lolll

Also got fined by the Environmental Bureau for running industrial equipment which are banned in the area we were. Ban came in effect since 2008, and with over 20+ records of registered mail/warning addressed to the landlord (which I've never heard of lolll), it was hard to request for a 'friendly' delay. They chopped off the electricity and water to the building instead LOL. The landlord footed the fine for all of us but we have to move out of there :/

Good news is we have the new shop lined up and all should take a weekend or two to do the move. Looking forward posting pics of the new place soon... pretty modern facilities!

In a meantime, here a first quick peek at the kit in its 'real-life' format - enjoy!

^ Squeezed in two ribbons on the built-in co-processor for you Arduino fans to see. Gives you an idea of where the digital and analog pins are located. Obviously plenty of inputs for your Oil Pressure sensors, Vibro-Acoustic IMSB sensors, and/or rolling weather stations ;)
Hm, how about MOST bus integration to the stock amps and to the instrument cluster?

Regards, Markus

Heron 11-27-2017 09:39 AM
Yes!! And about MOST integration?
 
Please sign me up for one of these

I've got the 2004 Boxster S special edition... It has the MOST amp and Bose speakers, and if this unit doesn't support it, I believe there are converters that will adapt after market head units to the MOST amp. Would be amazing to directly integrate tho. I've seen others ask for this but haven't seen the final answer. Thanks!



Also will share this : https://www.macchina.cc

I supported their kickstarter earlier this year and recently received the unit along with Smith's " The Car Hacker's Handbook". Another nifty hacker/maker method to obtaining OBDII data and modifying it, ie alternate tunes, etc.

Again. But if he is, he will have good darn reason.

Astonished
 
Just stumbled on this thread, I am astounded as to the genius of this person!

Very interested in seeing this in your 1987 2.5 Boxster all installed and working.

Silly question I know, just remember I am a complete novice when it comes to "just installing" stuff in cars.

Is the finished unit going to be PlugnPlay? How difficult will it be to install?

Amazing stuff Fred, A M A Z I N G!
very impressed with your genius!

BoxGr 02-09-2018 09:31 PM
Great stuff
 
Looks amazing Fred I just bought my 03 boxter s with factory audio system I can wait for yours to be released! I really hope that you will ship to Greece also. Put me down for a premium!

Keep up the good work,looking forward for new updates :)

Fred hasn't posted on here since November of last year. I don't think it likely we will see this product to market.

Right, I am a bit concerned for him.

jrgill 04-13-2018 04:05 PM
I’ve been thinking the same for the past few months. Maybe it has something to do with water intrusion affecting his car’s electronics and lost interest. Actually, I’m hoping that’s all it is.

BRAN 04-14-2018 01:46 AM
Have patience, that is what I learned in the last months (was just lucky and determined to be back).
Let's give him the time he might need.

No, that looks like a possible fake account building a post count.... They only have 2 posts, both exactly the same...

Thought I stepped on someone's toes or worse!....

Guess I'm still at a loss wondering if the infotainment system will ever come about.....

Thanks steved0x!......

Fred set this project to the side last year in order to help a friend who was gravely ill. No idea if he’ll resurrect it at some point. I hope so - it showed great promise!! Perhaps he’ll chime in here some day. In the interim, patience is best.

Ah!, Now I understand!, Thank you for pointing that out to me, I thought I had read this entire thread but it's clear I missed that bit of bad news, thank you kjc2050!.

Fred, if you read this, I apologise. I hope everything is going well.

Thank you.
