Top Commander for R52 almost shipping!

Hi all, we finally got the daughterboards and we'll be shipping to all those that made deposits in less than two weeks. That means in less than two weeks the price will go up to retail and the pre-order special will be no more! So if you've been thinking about getting a Top Commander, get your order in soon!

Here's the original announcement:

We'd had some requests for a control module to make the operation of the convertable top on the R52 easier. Well, we did it.

It goes up behind the header electronics and hooks to both the top and window switches there.
  • A quick double tap on the top open button fully opens the top.
  • A quick single tap on the window open button fully opens the windows.
  • A quick double tap on the top close button fully closes the top.
  • A quick single tap on the window close button fully closes the windows.
So about 30 seconds of button pushing is replaced by 3 quick taps to open everything up.

And about 20 seconds of button pushing is replaced by 3 quick taps to close everything up.

A single tap on the appropriate button will stop motion of the top or the windows.

Retail will be $69.95 plus tax, shipping and handling. Put a $69.95 deposit down via PayPal to sales@fes-auto.com and we'll cover shipping and sales tax (for CA residents). We're looking at about 4 weeks till shipments. We have to make the daugter boards for the switches.

When we're in production, the deal is off and it will be back at retail.

Matt

PS: this thread has some questions and answers about the product. You can download the preliminary documentation from the FES website here.
