Aftermarket Climate Control (Popformance LXCC for 92-00 SC/Soarer)
#256
Read through the whole thread and really love this product. I was a bit bummed when I went to try and buy one and they said they were sold out. Well, I emailed them asking if they planned on making another batch, and turns out I'm not the only one asking. There is a group buy going on right now for 50 more of these. I already have mine reserved. Cant wait because the screen on my current one is going out.

I think it fits great when you have a full touch screen head unit as well. And for the price of fixing my stock steup, this is a good deal for me. Cant wait to see it all together. New shift boot, handbrake boot, arm rest. shift **** and steering wheel all going in at the same time.

Great to see that Patrick is offering more units. I have really enjoyed having one installed and it does upgrade the interior look and feel to a more modern appearance. He has done well in standing behind his products and my experience was positive when my first run unit had an issue which he fixed right away.
Good luck to the group of 50 who will get to add this mod to their SC......

Whoa... only two days now? Here's hoping they've had a good turnout!
I have been waiting to reinstall the one I bought from the original production run. I just need to finally switch from my factory Pioneer stereo (an aftermarket stereo is best with the LXCC controller) and route my electrical harness for those eight gauge inputs through the firewall.
I've been meaning to contact Patrick about the boost controller add-on function progress as well. We went into it at some length previously and since he's already been selling a stand alone boost controller I imagine he's planned to integrate some version of that unit soon with perhaps different settings.
I gave him some feedback regarding the G-meter function menu and I'm hoping he'll try some version of that in the coming months as well. Pretty simple suggestions mostly wishing to allow the system to hold onto G-meter data that a car has triggered and show it visually after slowing down or having come to a stop to review, save, data log, etc. It was mostly meant as a fun function by his intention originally since it wasn't difficult to include the sensor(s) on the logic board. After using it I suggested it could be set up a bit like the simple G-meter function in the R34 Skyline GT-R or similar early 2000's production cars. He'd said to me that he was open to suggestions and feedback from his customers on how to revise (within reason) menu functions via new firmware updates in the future so I offered
I did the same in suggesting that one of the eight gauge inputs could be repurposed via menu toggle for an outside temperature gauge and he did this, even going so far as to design his own outside temperature gauge sensor! He programmed it so that the sensor's input would display on one of the main menu screens with the date and time rather than one of the eight virtual gauge input "dials". This should be an option for anyone who's a current or prospective LXCC owner even if it's not explicitly listed on the LXCC main pages. I'd just ask Patrick directly if anyone is interested.
That's the cool thing about this unit. Within reason its firmware can be tweaked a bit to improve what it does already.
I imagine he's got his hands full between this group buy production run and his regular work so here's hoping!

I'm on on the group buy, and cant wait to get mine! I think this with a double din screen really update the look of the interior. I also just shot Patrick a message about the outside air temp thanks to this thread.
