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

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.

produce more for you?

Sure be a shame not to be able to help those who want it once the stock you bought is sold out...

The Europeans do not support free enterprise.. So more than likely once someone figures out why we have bought every switch on the planet (after the article comes out) we won't be able to get more switches.

Well, isn't that just wonderful for the people who actually need those switches for their intended purpose.

Your cockpit interface is slick. Keep some switches on hand for development and perhaps reverse engineer them as long as the cost not too high.

Perhaps you could make a trip to Hong Kong and get somebody to start making them for you...quality willing
