LI Wireless available?

[focalcivic]

Yeah, the same place just did my window re-tinting, actually.

That's what happens when you go with a dealer install. $$$$$

Are you talking about a car dealer? or a stereo dealer?

I am sure he means the auto dealer....sure hope they included a box of tampax for you too......

That would be the Lexus dealer. Not that I'm complaining. I /did/ pick them, after my disappointment with my SR7 install at another place.

Perhaps I can better address this question as to the LI BT (Bluetooth) option Market Viability.
Unlike the Cheetah Wireless, LI BT Technology is much more complex, having to both carry not just simple RF like Cheetah to activate the basic control functions found on PASS, but, unlike PASS, must also carry a data stream to enable the seamless transfer of the LI Voice Alerts to the user. This means a more complex device and more expensive components. Our practical Taiwanese partner believes that potential buyers who see a Cheetah PASS Wireless system, albeit it less sophisticated than the LI BT option, being retailed for $175.00 and indeed for only $75.00 with a combined PASS purchase, won't pay more for the more sophisticated LI BT option. (BTW, I paid $250.00 to have my LI installed on my C55 and $275.00 for my wife's ML500 SUV) I disagree and feel we would. I strongly believe that LI Users, like cell phone users who pay far more for a BT Headset option for their cell phone as opposed to a wired headset that runs from their ear down a wire to their phone sitting on the seat or on the consoles, will indeed pay more for this BT option. With that said, let's see how our Taiwanese partner fares in the prototype's final market price after he completes it's real world testing.

Thank you,

I own a fairly expensive car and would be willing to pay handsomely to prevent an installer from having to dis-mantle or drill holes as would be required for a wired install. Could you have your Taiwanese partner describe the price that he believes would be too high. He indicated in a previous that they may consider producing the wireless unit as a custom order, I'd be interested in learning more about that.

I'd like to buy a LI it appears to be the best current solution, however the thought of having to have an installer get aggressive with my vehicle is a concern.

Let the market decide what is too expensive I think you'll be surprised what the market will bear for a good product.

As the Northeast Distributor perhaps you could help facilitate?

This is exactly, and reinforces further, my position I have adopted and promoted with this matter.

I am on top of it and as we progress towards further developments and testing, I will keep the community informed!

That explains alot in terms of price, car dealers are always more, but sometimes it is worth piece of mind.

Thanks I look forward to the developments.

I guess I'll have to fly blind ( under the laser so to speak ) until then...

It's my pleasure!

Perhaps asking this community (and the countless others that discuss this topic ) for indications of interest for a wireless soulution may help you further influence the LI home team.

Just a thought.

As a starting point I would be willing to spend at least $500 to avoid a "wired install"; and as with all negoitiations there is room above that number as well.

A custom solution would be fine.

Thanks for you help with this.
