Haha, keep in mind that I'm not going to stock these -- I'm working out distributorships so I won't have to, either.

My wife and I are also expecting twins boys to pop out of the oven in late February, so that will hamper my ability to make another run of units until mid-April at the latest.

The twins thing (plus I have a two year old) is more or less why I don't want to float a bunch of units :/

One suggestion would be to figure out the kbus message to fire the halos as DRL on the LCI E53. That alone would be worth the cost of the BlueBus module.

This is on the list of features to add. I plan on making the DRLs selectable as "Passing lights", "Angel Eyes" or "Fogs".

The wife will find me the time -- she likes buying baby clothes too much not to!

It will definitely be closer to summer before I'm back at this, though.

Thanks!

SHOOT, I missed out on the pre-sale. I had the chance LATE Friday night and I missed it. NOOOO.

PS: You're in Vegas? I'm in Vegas about 6-7 times a year (be there for NYE again, in a few weeks) so perhaps I can meet up and buy one from you when you do a second run in the summer?

t3ddftw - I have multiple E39's so if you open up the orders once again I would be interested in at least three.

I'm going to open it up for another 28 orders, based on who signed up for for a pre-order first.

I'm just waiting on parts to show up before I submit the order for manufacture, so I might as well take as many orders as I have parts for.

Thanks!

Hey Ted. Any comment on the adapter cable to go from the 54 pin black harness to the back of your new unit, for easy connectivity?
Thanks.

Sorry for the delay on this front -- I'm working on figuring out exactly what I need to charge.

I'm looking to buy the $5,000 Machine from TE connectivity in order to place the terminals on the wires.

The thought of crimping ~6,000 terminals onto wires by hand is a bit daunting when it takes about 30 seconds per crimp (due to fumbling with the terminal and wire).

Good thing is that I have everything worked out in terms of the cables themselves and more or less what they will cost me to manufacture. I'm trying to get something sent out to everyone before the end of the year.

Thanks!

Can the terminal be soldered vs crimped? A jig that holds say 20 you cab maybe get the per unit time down to 5-10 seconds.
