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. :D

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.

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.
