Have never heard of anyone having issues with warranty due to this or "the other" circuit.

And frankly, you could just take it back out before going to the dealer
Except for purely cosmetic changes, this has to be one of the least intrusive mods you can make as it is merely an interface between you circuit switches and your MINI - it can be put it or removed at any time.

 

What do you mean by "the other" circuit?


I was wondering how hard it was to install/remove. I figured if I had some weird electronic problem removing this would be the first part of the trouble shooting process anyway.

 

There are 2 circuits which are popular, Ian's and the MCAW.

This thread gives link to vendors for each, and in pst #6 you can read my comments on pricing for each.

Installation probably took me about 30 minutes, but that's because I tend to be very slow and careful. If I had to unplug it now for trouble shooting, it would probably take 10-15 minutes to unplug, test, and reconnect.

 

2008? That front bumper looks pre-2007. or are the convertibles different or something?

 

The convertibles remain first generation until 2009 model year.

 

Thanks eager. It appears that neither of are selling them right now. Ian's has an ugly sold out sign at the bottom and Outmotoring doesn't appear to sell MCAW anymore. I have call/email into both to see if they are going to carry them anymore.

It doesn't appear that GBMini is going to carry them anymore since he has to order 5000 at a shot and he doesn't want to get stuck with them. I've posted a WTB add in FS, and still have a call into Outmotoring but that will have to wait until Monday. Right now, things don't look good for our hero's...

 

Velcro No voided warranty, seconds to install, no problems.

 

PMaster2 I think you've hit the nail on the head. Besides when life throws lemons at you, velcro your damn GD opener and go for a long ride.

So where's yours? Is velcro'd under the switch panel the only choice, or are there other stealthy options out there?

 

Mine's velcro'd under the switchbox. Somebody else posted the idea on here, I just copied it - At first I feared poor reception, but I have no reception problems at all and ya can't see it unless your working under the dash. Make sure to get velcro w good glue though b/c the heat could loosen cheap glues in the summer heat!
