LOL - update...

Black is back from polish / anodize.

Hardware is on order, and assembly will start shortly when everything gets here. It is in the home stretch! Based upon my personal schedule of events we're attending in the coming weeks, I don't know if they will release before or after I return from Woodward in August - this is my first year going up there, so it's going to be interesting, and we're hitting a bunch of shows the week prior to it starting in PA.

 

Hope to see you and shake hands at Woodward in August!

 

Do you guys get an alarm for oil pressure if the car is not started right away? If you do, have you found a solution and will the pushbutton address that?

 

bumpski, anything new???

 

Parts are all back from finishing.

I'm back from Woodward Dream Cruise.

Just need to get all misc. hardware and components here, and get assembly underway. In the final stages now

 

This issue is a tricky one, and no, we do not have a solution. It does not happen all the time, and not on all the vehicles we tested. It seems to be more prevelant on earlier cars with info center, as neither one of the 2010+ cars we have tested do it, and the 05 we tried it on only does it once in a while. The 09 has not done it, so kind of hard to fix it when you can't get it to do it consistently.

My personal take on the matter is that since you are bypassing the key the PCM "thinks" that the car is already running, hence the warning on fire-up that oil pressure is low (which it would be until oil pressure comes up). Short of reprogramming the PCM to ignore the input for a period of time after seeing a start signal, there is no way I could see to avoid it if it decides to throw the alarm. It goes away a few seconds after startup, which makes sense, so really to keep the cost of the kit in check, I do not see a solution we can add to it that would solve this intermittent issue.

 

Marcello,

It was really nice to met you again at Mustang Alley.

Sean (aka the Canadian from Windsor!)

 

Pleasure was mine - and if you looked in the car, you saw what we're doing with these

BTW, materials were ordered today for assembly, so we should start putting them together either the end of this week or beginning of next week. Then it's open season !

 

 

What he said.

 

 

Here's the video of our newest release installed in our car:

Options Include:

Red or Blue Lighting for 05-09 owners

For 10+ owners, choice of satin silver, gloss black, or triple chrome Tru-Billet replacement door for center dash (satin is shown in video). I'll post up more pictures in a minute...

 

Here's some photos - I need to cross post in the 10+ forum as well...

Most of the photos show the button not illuminated, as it is hard to get good photos of it lit without washing out the camera - we're working on more though and will post some up to our web page as we get them online for ordering.

Lighting can be optioned to be constant on (not recommended) or on when the E-brake is set and the key is inserted into the ignition. When the e-brake is released, the light goes out, so it does not affect night driving at all.

Price 75.99 for 05-09 cars (lower than any comparable kit on the market w/o illumination!)

Price 89.99 for 10+ cars.

 

I want one. Not sure what color- red would look good because I have red stitching on the shifter boot but my car is blue.

 

I have the red one in our show car (red and white), but my brother has the blue in his car (grey). They are both nice... decisions, decisions!

Be thankful you're not on this side - we're figuring there are at least 18 options for the 10+ cars that we will have to offer and stock... that's a lot of options!

 

cool- will there be a black bezel available for the 05-09? maybe also a black with diamond skim 'trim' ring like tho 09 radio *****?

 

No, it won't be offered that way, but a little masking and painting would get you there easy enough if you wanted to go that route. Since the bezel is chromed ABS, it would just require scuffing prior to paint. You could even do the hydro-print process on the bezel (it unthreads from the switch) and do the CF look on it if desired.

 

These look great..Just put the order in for a blue one for my 09
Thanks.

 

Those look nice but is there any way to get it to sit flush with the surround?

 

Thank you! You are the first order for an 05-09!

Hmmm... It *could* be machined (heck we made Tron bikes, how hard could this be? ), but the truth is that it would make the button "look" much smaller. If you look at the 10+ kit, the button appears smaller even though it is identical - the only reason it looks "right" is because of the size of the bezel replacing the plastic door. Since the 05-09 doesn't have that door area, the bezel would have to be a two-piece machined and threaded backer / barrel that would let the button "back mount" to the center console panel. This however would drive the cost up, and it was determined early on that for the 05-09 cars, we wanted to keep costs contained as much as possible. Two additional machined and finished pieces would definitely ruin that cost savings.
