If I translate to English, it sounds like you are patent-trolling someone's DIY hobby project. Go away.

quintmann:

thx for sharing! your diy instructions are well written and pictures help tremendously. this is a mod for anyone who wants to do a mod project for the enjoyment and satisfaction. the only thing i would change is the last picture: it's so dark, it's difficult to see any details of the door handle. you might want to retake that picture again for better clarity. otherwise, great job!

That's besides the point IMO.

Anyways, good job on the mod and I agree that it's a lot of work for that.

Default KeyLight Handles

Big discussion!
As you noticed, I didn't put advertisement on vendors market for the light handles. Why?
There is a long waiting list for it. It's hand made with a computer chip inside, production is slower than the market. However, better than FERARI that you have to wait for 6 months.
For these hot & new devise, do you think it's owned by me? the sole owner of this patent? I wish ------
I pointed out for your good that there maybe some problems-----
I never wanted to take away someone's DIY hobbies------
By the way, If anyone interest in these devise, It's very good price now for sale. We don't know when the price will go up, but for sure this is whole sale price the beginning to look for distributor.
Good luck to all your work! Please contact me for any whole sale need.
I'm simply a sales manager!

Sorry, but there is absolutely no way that this DIY project as described is violating any patents.

Ohhhhh, dont' even mention that asian country- a certain Mr. vendor gets REALLY touchy about this.....eventhough, a step by step thread DIY (of their) mirror cover with pictures taken by another fellow member CLEARLY states that their mirrors are Made in T_____- they still insist it is made South of Somewhere

But hey, ive seen those mirrors up close and the quality is .-

Quintmann, Very ingenious!

hey guys! i didnt post this DIY up here for every one to start arguing about patents and how much work it is and stuff like that...i just wanted to share with you GS guys what i had done on my IS. I know the GS and IS are pretty similar with the touch sensor in the door handle and I thought that some of you guys would like to do this on your car.

Thanks tho to you who have appreciated my DIY!

Im just trying to be a true CL member and share my DIY's with everyone i can so they can have something cool for a very cheap price.

Everyone take care!
