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

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.

It's time to think of a better way to switch it. How about something in that little knockout on the far left of the dash?

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

The off shore sourcing doesn't work... We tried that earlier with this product's wiring harness and a even the entire system except the switch.. Three different factories could not meet my standards so now all units are being made at our facility from scratch with the exception of the circuit boards.

The switch is just another hurdle, I have been fighting those for 3 years with this development and it's just another day at the office for me.

We are used to resistance at this point. All these people are doing is making life more difficult for the owners of the cars...

Jake,

I just tried to use the link to your site thats on the left to get the cost of the IMSG. My Norton Anti-Virus blocked it saying it was a malicious web site. The details said the site had 10 drive-by software bugs...just sayin'.

By the way, how much is the IMSG?
