IMS detector MIA? - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Ah, well, you see, if you want to know that you have to buy the magazine.

Jake, you said the technology was going to be printed in Excellence. That means your letting the cat out of the bag. Have you given the Failure Detector to the one who guessed how it worked yet? Can't wait to see how close I was. :dance:

NO ONE has had the technology released to them outside of Two distributors abroad, the Excellence crew and our Patent Attorneys.. It will stay this way until the article is published.

Four people guessed right, they will all receive a free unit AFTER the release.

There is no way that we'll be able to keep up with demand on these.. We are building them all in house at the present and do NOT want to look overseas to manufacture them.

No more info is available till the article is released, we don't need more hooplah to draw us away from the task at hand.

Thanks Jake,

I just received a mail with last news about Guardian. So i guess that waiting time is only a patent issue. You're right to save your intellectual property from being stolen.

What about Excellence magazine overseas? May I get it somewhere down here (italy)?

It is then possible to place an order prior the Guardian will be put on sale again?

Thanks again Jake.

Lots of reasons make up the story on why the IMSG is later than expected..
The biggest one is the patent but also the switch that the system uses is a Porsche switch and we have bought every unit in stock, all over the world.

Overseas orders are no problem, we ship overseas everyday.

Then it will be tricky to get a new door locking switch somewhere around the world... lol. So now we know who's to blame for...

I know you ship overseas and my meaning was to know if you have planned to build up a pre order list in order to start distributing the Guardian as soon as it will be officially released, saving order time after releasing. If so, I would subscribe for a piece right now and reach my peace of mind while driving my old 986.

Anyway, I left a switch housing free on my dashboard that will be filled very soon.

Thanks

The only switch that has the proper circuitry for the IMSG is the seat heater switch...

We depleted the entire world supply of these units in the Porsche supply system.

Can I please have a link to this thread? I like to read about the guesses. Thanks.

Jake Raby · 09-04-2011, 04:27 AM

The guesses were all PM'd to me..
You'll know about the technology soon enough, the magazine is being printed this week!

thejack · 09-05-2011, 03:32 AM

Will this technology be revealed also worldwide or has the patent been filed only in the US?

Where the magazine can be bought in Euorpe? I'm curious, I know...

Excellence is distributed worldwide. We have international patents filed and pending.

thejack · 09-06-2011, 04:58 AM

Well, I'm getting in troubles to find someone who's distributing Excellence magazine in Italy. But I'll keep on trying...
