I take note.

Given the interest on the other side of the big lake, I have to close the pre-orders now.

There have been additional improvements since the last week. The biggest one is about connectivity : There will be absolutely no soldering job involved for the end user. Mostly plug and play with the original BMW plugs. Maybe just 2 crimp connectors to crush. I still need to decide. I will leave the...

The previous batch I have produced is about 2 years old, and there might be no new batch before a long time. So, if you're interested, don't miss the train. :wink: Batch 2 - List of interes...

Hi Gents. I'm about to launch a new serie of kits, based on my last progress. These kits will be 90% plug and play and would require no soldering skills. They would only require you to cut some of the white plastic from the cockpit enclosure (less than 0.1 inch², that are invisible once the cockpit ...

A few news about the project. After some testing with different assemblies, I have finally abandoned the light dimming (increases the size of the module, not reliable,...).
