Thanks for pointing that out.

I looked at a '99 wiring diagram and I see the differences. I'll do a revision to the instructions to point out the differences.

 

Hi add me to the list of prospective orders. I can't wait, could do with it today as its an unbelievable 25C in Northern England today and totally zombie free.

 

Certainly. I'll contact you as soon as they are ready to ship.

 

LOL! A zombie-free day is essential when working on a Jag.

 

You got that right....need all the concentration focused on the car and not what's lurking around LOL

 

Add me to the list also!!! I am also Zombie Free here in Joplin, MO! Mother Nature took them out... but it costs us a bit of the town here!

 

Got you down Turbo...I'll reserve one for you and let you know when they are ready.

 

Please add me to your list of customers too. Thx!

Don

 

Not quite the same topic but....is there any way to get the back windows of my 2004 XK8 to come back up after the convertible top has cycled down ????

Stainless

this is something i would very much want,,,,,,,along with other things

 

Can't wait!

 

OK, rsigue. I have you down for notification on the first batch.

What other things are you lookng for? The best ideas come from folks on this forum !!

 

WhiteXKR - The above quote was my response to your original "...you know you want to!!!" statement. Even though that was the first response on this thread and I've made several comments along the way, I don't think I have officially asked to be on the list for notification of the first-run kit. Consider this to be that request.

Thanks,

 

Thanks, you got it Larry.

 

I've made lots of progress over the last couple of weeks. It will be coming soon !

 

Great Timing - just as it stops raining and we get a sense of summer here in the SF Bay Area. Waiting - Work on! DaleD

 

I just wanted to post a little update.

I have made a full prototype and have gone through some pretty exhaustive testing. Here is a photo of the prototype:



I believe that it is now ready for prime time, so I have ordered the production printed circuit boards and the parts to start producing these.

For those who have missed this thread, this module will allow you to raise and lower your top using your existing remote control from outside of the car. It also lets you reverse the top or stop it's motion for safety.

The final version will have color coded wiring matching your vehicle, so you simply have to match the colors to the car wiring to install it. Connections are made with included Posi-taps, which are reliable wire connectors that are extremely easy to use.

I also worked hard to make the design very robust and tolerant to wiring errors and the rigors of an automotive environment. The design also has six LEDs that will give you positve confirmation that it is installed correctly and help to identify the problem in the unlikely event there is an installation issue.

Look for the production version to be available within a month or so.

 

Looks great, WhiteXKR!! You do nice work.

Can't wait.

 

Looking forward to installing one. Looks too attactive to be hidden in the door.
