They sell a TON of them to MB SLK and Porsche Boxster people. Check out:

Kpierson, I'm definitely interested and I think you'll find many more people on this and other forums who would love to purchase one as well. This one is pretty active with a decent amount of convertible owners Main: G35 Forum / G37 Forum - NICOclub

These convertibles are relatively new, but once sales of them get going you'll have a good size market. Please keep us up to date on your progress and I'll try to get more people for a group buy.

The enclsure would obviously house all the logic and circuity needed to make this work. All and all, there would be 5-6 total circuits to get the job done!
Any more word on this? I am leaning towards a 2010 G37X but the dealer e-mailed me and made a pretty good offer on a vert.

Just finished the paperwork on my new Convertible - Premium Pack with Nav for just under invoice and an incredible lease rate. Picking it up today (since they had to get it from another dealer). Can't wait to install this feature if we can somehow get the group buy going. Like I said before, the other forums have plenty of members who i think would be interested as well.

Hey Kevin,

I just picked up my convertible and would love this feature. Was there enough interest and are you developing this? If so, count me in on a group buy.

Thanks

Unhappy

I just sent him a PM but he has not posted on here in three months, so maybe the idea has died.

We just finished a very large project and this is next up - we look to begin testing in the very near future.

The first revision will simply be a one touch module. Maybe down the road we'll look to add other features.

Hello Kevin,
Any chance of a discount program for forum members on the nav bypass?

Voice Recognition with the top down

Hi Kevin,
I have another challenge for you. On G 37 vert the voice recognition doesn’t work when the top is down. Before buying G37 I tried BMW 335 and Lexus IS350. On both of them VR system works with the top down. Since you’re familiar already with G37 Service Manual can you do something to make it work with the top down?
Thank you very much.

The keyfob module would be around $59.99 and would include the ability to close the windows from the keyfob (not sure about the top, if you hold the key in the "LOCK" position for an extended time will it close the top?)

The one touch roof controller would be around $49.99. If there is interest we could do a group buy to lower the costs.

I would also like to find a vert near Dayton, Ohio to test these products out on!

for 50-60$ i would DEFINATELY but that mod.... but if it were more, probably not.

I'm finally installing one of these tomorrow! I'll hopefully post some pictures and possibly even a video after the installation. Once I have it tested in a vehicle we'll get a handful of field testers and then release the product!
