kenchan,
You are posting on what started as a thread about the original MINI circuit, and you apparently have the other manufacturer - correct?

Assuming I'm right ... I see Z-MINI has posted here, he should see your message and be able to provide help

Glad that you got everything working! Sorry for the delayed reply. I've been staying off my laptop at night for my wife - so I did not see this thread activity until this morning.

The Basic Circuit goes into programming by holding both window switches down and the Deluxe Circuit goes into programming by holding both switches up. I know there was a technical reason for the difference (that Kevin told me about) but I can't recall the exact reason right at the moment.

Anyway I am extremely happy that you are now up and running.
Thanks-
Randy

Thanks, Randy- got your email too.

it's a great unit. i have it on the one touch up so it's very factory-like.

^ thanks, Chappy.

I used the auto-up during my drive today and this thing is fantastic!
up before expressway ramps, up before entering 55mph rural hwys,
up before parking in my garage.

^^ yep. and I recommend one does the install from the
passenger seat side of the car. It's a lot easier to reach
in the dash to grab that harness.

Definitely the easiest way to install the circuit. Here's a short video that illustrates the technique --> http://www.mcaw.info/video/mcaw-basi...ation-512k.wmv

So is this needed on any year USDM MINI, or just the newer models? My wife and I both want the auto up really badly (we use the windows every time we're in the car)... I just need to know if I need to get the circuit or not.

Thanks,
Ben

Auto-up has never been offered on US MINI's in model years 2002-2006, no official word yet if Auto-up will be on the redesigned 2007 R56. If it is not enabled on the 2007 then we will look to expand our circuit product line to support the 2007 MINI as well.

Cheers-
Randy

Thank you! The video for the Basic circuit has been up there for about a month or so. I am working on a coutnerpart video for the Duluxe Circuit.

Thanks again!

Just so that everyone knows. The "Track mode" works on the 2006 MCS. I have mine installed and love it.

Thanks again Ian. Great device, well done!
