I'd pay her 25 cents a crimp if I could find her! So serious, too, lol.

Hi, I have put me reservation in. I have a aux-plug in bluetooth module currently but it would be nice to find a replacement for the ancient bmw phone that came with the car.

That video was mesmerizing! And a recipe for some serious cases of repetitive stress injuries.

Just found this thread as I was searching for options for the 2005 X5 I just picked up. Let me know if any of the current pre orders backs out as I will pick one up for sure! I just filled out the form on your website as well. Great idea and build!

just installed the OE mic in the factory location. Now I sit and wait... And since I had the Ultrasonic sensors (theft deterant sensors) down, to remove the overhear console to access the wiring and reroute the mic wire the BMW hid out of the way, I clamped a new cell phone magnetic bar to it and man is this WIZgear bar strong.

Hey guys,

So, I got hit with bad news Thursday -- The Fab house apparently has the PCBs themselves made in Taiwan (news to me), and Chinese New Years is coming up, so I got hit with a 14 day delay:



I spoke with my Account Manager at MacroFab and he said I was pretty much SOL. I'm not sure why they didn't initially account for this -- I'm pretty peeved :thumbsdown:.

In any case, the refund option still stands for anyone not wanting to wait. There's unfortunately nothing that can be done about this.

-Ted

Thanks for timing update Ted.
Sucks when things are not in your control but that's just life.
Good luck when you do get it all in stock and I hope you were able to source a wire connector crimping machine ( or that lady) for when you do start again

Thanks for understanding!

I am actually in the process of sourcing a local company to do the wiring termination for me. I have the applicator, which is what is specific to the terminal I'm using, and they have the terminator.

It's looking like $9 / bundle of six wires, plus $7 or so bucks for the terminal housings (the plastic connector shroud).

I'm thinking the plug and play harness will be in the ~$20 - ~$25 range, since they need to be assembled when they get to me. Wires will be 14" long, which should plenty.
