Description:
|
The Ian Cull's Auto-Up circuit adds auto-up window, track-mode DSC defeat, and auto front fog-light control to the R50, R52 and R53 Mini Cooper. Ian's “MINI circuit” solves the annoyance of having to hold the window toggle switch up to close windows in a MINI – especially troublesome with a manual transmission when pulling away from a toll booth in wet weather! Once the auto-up feature has been enabled, it can be activated by a quick double click up of the appropriate window toggle switch. The "Track Mode DSC" will turn the DSC off shortly after starting the car. This is very usefull for those that race, AutoX or participate in HPDEs. The "Auto Front Fogs" turns the front fog lights on whenever the headlights are turned on. Great for those that like lots of light! All of the functions can be enabled or disabled via the toggle switch panel.
Features:
Auto-Up Windows Once the auto-up feature has been enabled, it can be activated by a quick double click up of the appropriate window toggle switch. If you click the toggle switch down while the auto-up is active, the circuit will immediately cancel its signal and window movement will stop; a second click down will be needed to open the window again
Track-Mode DSC The Mini dynamic stabillity control is what's known as a "slow" system, cutting power when driving agressively on the track. When enabled, this feature turns off the DSC system a few seconds after starting the car. No more heading out onto the track and feeling that loss of power to remind you that you didn't turn the system off.
Auto Front Foglights When this feature is enabled, the front fog lights will turn on whenever the headlights are turned on. The toggle will still work as normal, so if you want to turn them off (when there's lots of traffic around, for example) you still can. Like all features in this module, it is programmed via the toggle panel. Toggle Switch Programming No dip switches here! The circuit is put into "program mode" by holding the lock toggle for 5 seconds. You can change the settings as needed in moments. Leaving the track at the end of a day? Just turn off the "track mode DSC" and have the safety benefits of dynamic stabillity control on the street. Driving in city traffic for a few days? Turn of AFF in moments. Once the circuit is installed, you never need to turn a screwdriver to change settings at all.

Pros:
|
Works as advertised...and well-needed.
|
|
Cons:
|
Double-click option is hard to use.
|
|
Was easier than anticipated (or instructed) to install...later-model R53 switch panel did not need to be removed as instructed. The storage bin below did come out with little difficulty, for access. Otherwise, instructions were excellent.
Functionally, I can't comment about the track-mode because I've never used it for that purpose...
For auto-up window mode, it works beautifully. It does make very small window adjustments tricky, but it's to be expected, and it's not really a problem once you're aware of it.
The issue can be eliminated by opting for the double-click mode (easily user-programmable), but this presents a new problem...and one that's not as easy to live with... In double-click mode, you have to double click almost-inhumanly fast in order for the feature to work (like a computer mouse, set on the fastest possible double-click). It's workable, but it requires concentration to get it right, which of course quickly wears thin (for something you don't expect to have to actually think about). For me, single-click mode is much better...even with the touchy small-adjustment issue.
Overall, I love this product and would recommend it to anyone!
