My expected delivery date is the 24th now but last couple things out of Canada were hit or miss for me. I wouldn't be surprised to see it on the 25th or even 26th.

There hasn't been mention of a turbo timer feature that i've seen and the gauge functionality is precisely why I bought it. Down the road i'll use it for AFR and boost control when those modules are released.

Tracking update on mine is it left Illinois late today so no way it makes it here (West coast) tomorrow let alone on Saturday. Likely see it Monday...... It will be a while before I get a chance for the install.....

For those of you that get them and put them in please post pics and report on the unit's performance in this thread.

Not sure if the moderators might consider this as being "Sticky worthy"......

Wow mines not in the country yet. Hopefully I can get it installed the day it arrives and I'll definitely update.

I did receive the unit on 3/22 but too late for the appointment I had setup with the installer. I will try again this Saturday and post pics and results.

The link provided in the basic install instructions for the user manual did not work for me. Sent an email for the correct path.

Anyone else have their's in hand??? Any early installs to share????

Hey Duck, did you get updated instructions by chance? Mine might actually make it to me today afterall. I emailed Patrick but apparently they're out of the office so hoping you got the instructions before they left.

I know it's only 4 wires and I assume they're BAT, IGN, ILL, GND but want to be sure.

I was right. I have my unit in hand and just swapped the new controller onto the AC ECU. I'll be installing it in my car this evening. I have to run out and get some supplies.

The unit comes with instructions on the install but the link to the manual to use the thing is 404 right now. Looks for my updates tonight here and my build thread.

I've got mine installed. The install process is fairly straight forward. If you can install a stereo, you can install this no problem. Full write up in my build thread but short of it is you swap the face plate of the climate control with this one and splice in the 4 wires to power it. Once we get the manual, we'll know a little more about how to actually work the unit but I ran through the functions and it worked perfectly.

Yeah its just a replacement controller for the stock ac ecu. You splice four wires in on top of the oem plugs. Super easy. My headunit is an avic z110bt I got years ago from sonic electronix I think. I love the avic line, tons of community support and a quality unit. I have it upgraded to 2012 maps and firmware.

I'm sure they'll start taking orders soon. They're out for the week looks like. Probably have a unit left over from people who wanted refunds due to delays.

It just seems to me the finish on the unit doesn't look that great. Looks like it was painted with a spray can and the plastic wasn't sanded very well.
