is this a actual module or just a relay though ???

think thats the bit id like to know before handing over 30 quid to get a relay

have you got pics of the module ?

what sort of electrical background do you have, not being funny but i dont wanna buy a product for a small sum of 30 quid that could turn my car into a candle

Firstly, the units are fused, so there's no danger of shorts and setting your car on fire. Secondly, what's contained inside my modules is a trade secret ;)

Electrical experience? Do you need electrical experience to come up with a good idea? It's a simple device, sir. It doesn't change the way the motors on the mirrors work, simply adds automation of an existing process.

could pm me the wiring diagram please
thanks

Major_Sarcasm 13 September 2008 02:33 PM

Will do mate.

CataIunya 16 September 2008 01:36 PM

you can get these devices that fold up your mirrors, roll up all your windows and turn them into one touch roll up as well for about 30 buns

Major_Sarcasm 16 September 2008 02:32 PM

You can? Where?

CataIunya 16 September 2008 05:59 PM

I bought mine a while ago will try and dig out the details

major 16 September 2008 08:38 PM

Could you pm's me the wiring diagram please ?

mbumping this old thread...pmd u sarcasm

Major_Sarcasm 03 September 2009 09:14 PM

Replied via email, Raul.

P1_Bagz 04 September 2009 08:09 AM

are these still for sale? could be interested if they can do the windows and mirrors all with the alarm.

Major_Sarcasm 04 September 2009 10:45 AM

They don't work like that. My module simply folds the mirrors in when the ignition is switched off to save you remembering to operate the switch manually.

jamiedream 06 September 2009 09:23 PM

Hi the way i did it on my classic which was a 96 sti. i found the aerial went up/down when the ignition was turned on/off.... so just swithched the wiring from the auomated aerial and the mirrors switch round and there i had it. and also didnt have to have a big bloody aerial up all the time.

bmposer 06 September 2009 09:56 PM

Hi there,

Do you have a wiring diagram of how this is done please.

Good idea, but I think my module is a little more elegant ;)

Buy one of my modules and you get the wiring diagram/installation instructions for free ;)

Seriously, the diagram for installing my module can be found here. It won't help you unless you buy one though...

jamiedream 07 September 2009 09:56 PM

I'd just say do my aerial way... That way your not getting conned plus you don't need to have your aerial up if you don't need it.

Major_Sarcasm 07 September 2009 10:47 PM

Crack on, son. Why don't you start your own thread and tell everyone all about it :)

And if you don't have an electric aerial like all of the Uk Turbo owners???

Take it easy mate, MS made this kit up to make life easier for people, he also sells these on Skyline forums, I'm sure there aint as many people bitching and moaning about it on there. People on here are getting conned left right and centre, paying for things that they could do themselves. Its their choice so leave them to it (not that I think this is a con BTW)

Major_Sarcasm 08 September 2009 05:10 AM

Actually, no-one is bitching an moaning on the Skyline forums ;)

Thanks, joey turbo, for your post. I'm certainly not trying to con anyone. Time and effort went into these, I'm simply charging for that. If people don't agree with what I'm charging for them, they don't have to buy one.

His aerial idea is actually really good :)

jamiedream 08 September 2009 02:51 PM

I'm no bithin or moaning, it is a brilliant idea and good on ya for Putin your time in to it . was just saying personally what I'd do and for being a con which someone else mentioned so f you have an Aerial lkie that you can do that. Was just sharing.

Anyone who has tried to develope, manufacture and then market a product from scratch appreciates how hard a process it is. To come on and snipe, belittle and then accuse the developer of said product of being a con sums the attitude of some of the posters on this thread.
Nobody has gun to your head forcing you to buy this product. Okay it's a simple electrical gadget but so what? The OP spent time and money developing it in to a marketable end product. Credit where it's due. As for the bloke who came on rubbishing it as a relay,what qualification did he have? HND was it? 'Has No Degree'!
Major Sarcasm I think you have a good product never mind the besmirchers. As someone said 'everyone pities the weak and less able, jealousy has to be earned'. If I was in the market for such a product I would certainly buy it and at £30 it's a fair price.:thumb:

mr_D 21 September 2009 02:34 PM

dont you just love the way ppl on this site ruin your for sale threads! ! ! ! ! no concideration for others

:thumb: for the good work. awersome product

Major_Sarcasm 21 September 2009 03:22 PM

Thanks for your support guys.

I really should have said before, but all the people that have bought one of these recently have got them for £21 (the quid is for PayPal the robbing gits) ;) I decided to charge less after all the slagging off I got :D

Perhaps I ought to edit my 1st post to reflect the price that I'm actually charging...:wonder: :idea:

MCHIVERS 03 October 2009 09:50 AM

sent you a private message mate cheers pal

Major_Sarcasm 03 October 2009 07:40 PM

I'll reply soon bud.

midichlorian 03 October 2009 07:44 PM

Hi MS - would this gadget work for an 08 / 09 sti?

There's a fold / unfold switch on the 08 / 09 - it's one of those two position buttonss - press & release to fold the morrors (the button end up in a depressed position) , then press and release the button for them to un-fold (the button ends up in an un-pressed pos).

I know quite a few 08 owners who would like one of these:thumb:

Major_Sarcasm 03 October 2009 07:49 PM

Hmm, possibly ;)

I'd have to see one / measure what's coming out the back.

midichlorian 03 October 2009 08:03 PM

B*ll*x - not so easy as I'm based in Wirral & the IOW is a fair trek:mad:

Let us know if you figure out how your gizmo would work on the hatch - you can find us on the 08/09 hatch thread on the members gallery whinging about forgetting to fold the mirrors after getting out of the car:wonder:

The Rig 05 October 2009 07:34 PM

if it helps any desings in case you didnt know (you probably do tho) the switch is a constant Live,its a break in the little copper slip within the mechanism of the wing mirror that makes it stop in its postion etc,took me a good few hrs to fit a new motor to my wing mirror as i messed the sequence up and it would fold to much or not enough !

dragons den here you come ! :-)

Major_Sarcasm 06 October 2009 08:36 AM

Thanks for the info. However, my module modifies the way the switch works, not the mirrors themselves.

Working with someone on the 08/09 models. Watch this space.
