Just saw the thread. I am very interested as well. Keep me posted on what i need to do.

 

Do we have any idea on a completed test date for the demo boards, so we can finally get our hands on one? I've been itchy since I first saw the thread...

 

I can't give an estimated date because the initial beta testing will be done by individuals that offer their time for us to use their vehicle. My G is an '04 so I can't test it on my own car. Unfortunately, in the Dayton, Ohio area there arn't many people willing to help out. Most of our testers drive at least 1 hour to help us out, so we work around their schedules.

Once we get the local testing done the 5 people from this thread will be offered a discounted test module just to verify that the modules can be installed with no issues, and then we'll start manufacturing the boards for sale to the public.

 

Too bad I don't live closer, I'd gladly let you use my car. I'm on board 100% for this. It is so TOTALLY frustrating to not be able to access more than the first items on screen when moving. I have a good brain and I know how to use it and to realize safety from non safety.

 

Michael just left with a perfectly working KPtechnologies Navigation Bypass for his '08 sedan!

This is the first car to use the 'finalized' module so this is very exciting news.

I will be contacting the 5 test people sometime within the next week to arrange payment and shipping!

 

put me on that list

 

Do you need any more testers? More than willing to help out!

 

We have a limited number of test circuit boards so our test group is limited to a few people.

 

Hi Kevin... this looks great!
Can we expect an update from you here when this is ready for purchase?

The OK button never bothered me much, being that I could hit if with the steering wheel button, but I hate being locked out of navi options while rolling.
Can't wait to get my hands on this!

 

Darn... I guess we will just have to wait for the official release then
Are there any plans for an initial group-buy?

 

We will make an annoucement here when the production units are ready to go. If there is enough interest we will offer a group buy. At this point it looks like there is plenty of interest!

 

Great news. I had been following the post on the KPtechnologies forums, and was getting worried when there was no update in the last few weeks. I was almost to the point of hanging my Garmin back in the window.

I'll get in on a group buy for sure.

 

Sounds great... thanks for keeping us updated!

 

I ordered the parts needed to populate the circuit boards today, so by the end of the week I should have everything needed to build the test modules.

 

Not enough interest to justify surface mounts?

Looking forward to trying it out!
