Earlier this evening I was about to give up on this and leave it as a sleeping paypal account. I can't even close it.

Oh dear. Sorry to hear of this ongoing saga, Bob. How frustrating it must be. I must have come close to this issue myself without even realising it but by some stroke of good fortune I used an acceptable (to PP) version of my name. For most purposes I use the name Zed (which is the initial of my middle name) so I could easily have opened a PP account in the 'wrong' name. Phew.

I followed your lead on the 3D printing and placed my order a few moments ago. I'm sure mine will look equally as nice. Amazon gets the rest of the biz for the ELM327 ODB device + the flush fit power socket.

All that's left to do is to be patient (snerk) until the components arrive and for Cabrio Bob to get the payment method worked out with PayPal or another provider. Looking forward to seeing this device in action ... and to showing it off to my buddy Joe (fellow XK owner).

We have this famous name in the Netherlands. Every time I see you posting I think of Barney :-)

By the way I ordered already all needed electronics to get started with soldering.

For those who have not yet ordered the box and lid, consider using the previously mentioned JawsTec. So far, I've had a VERY positive experience with JawsTec in Idaho. They will soon have the files available as an open file, so you should not have to send it to them. There are several options for materials and finished, but it appears the MJF 11 nylon in black with a vapor polish is the closest to matching the OEM parts. Their site is www.jawstec.com. Once I get my parts, I'll update on the finish.

Bob,
I went through the PayPal verification some years back. The initiation of this process must be computer (algorithm) driven...only with human intervention now and then. I had been with PP since Elon Musk was paying every one $7 to use the service..(2003) .sign up and recommend PP and you got $7 for your account and $7 for every new account that was a result of your recommendation. Ten years later and they freeze my account,
It took three weeks for mine to finally clear up, good luck.

as an aside, since I have the ADU and still no XKR in my garage, if someone in the USA wants to purchase mine for my investment I'll sell it to them and order another from you, seems a shame for someone to not use and enjoy your creation right now.

wj

My paypal account "cleared" yesterday, now I have to add my bank account again.
P.s. if you want to re-order, sign-up closes on the 25th, so 2 days.

I had to look that up Letterkenny is a real place in County Donegal in Ireland. But now I know it is also a TV sitcom! This Barnsie guy - he's devastatingly good-looking, incredibly intelligent, rich beyond avarice and has hundreds of women chasing him? Right??

Oh man - yeah, I was referencing the Canadian Comedy LetterKenny. It's pretty funny but... it's got a lot of language and adult themes in it. The Barnsie character is the dude that gets all the women, but you don't ever see his face. lol

Back to the thread - did the code for the supercharger pressure ever get altered?

Since the output is not logical, there is no "fix" for the output values ...

An update,

Soon the first few can be shipped out.
Still waiting for parts to be delivered so only 4 are now ready.
EDIT: One of the not-yet-delivered parts are the USB power cables.
