Yes, please publicise this as much as possible. We are still a few weeks out. Not sure whether to open up for pre-orders or not - my gut feeling is not, but it depends on how close to the end of the month we get. It would be nice to get this first batch out to as many as possible in as short a time as possible.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" class="">Shall we developers order from you (of the 20 module reserve) or via Fasttech?</div></blockquote><div class=""><br class=""></div>I suggest Fasttech. They are quicker at shipping than me, and I don’t keep stock of cables :-) But, if any problems, or for special cases, I can provide from my stock. I’m also planning to install a few in HK directly, to get some experience on ones with easy access.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" class="">Send me the coupon code, I'll include it the same way in my site.</div></blockquote><div class=""><br class=""></div>Yep, that should work. We should issue it in a week or two and I’ll let you have it then. I think that in fairness we need to co-ordinate the release of this, so everyone gets it at the same time.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Regards, Mark</div><div class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On 6 Mar 2018, at 3:01 PM, Michael Balzer <<a href="mailto:dexter@expeedo.de" class="">dexter@expeedo.de</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class="">

<br class="">
thanks for the final specs, I'll forward them.<br class="">
<br class="">
Shall we developers order from you (of the 20 module reserve) or via
Fasttech?<br class="">
<br class="">
If from you, please reserve one module for me, including both
antennas and a "left" OBD cable.<br class="">

<div class="">Coupon code to be used at checkout. I’m going to
work out a way to show it on <a href="http://openvehicles.com/" class="">openvehicles.com</a> once they have logged in, next
to their registered vehicle. There is gonna be some trust here,
that people don’t share that coupon code with others or abuse
the system. Anyway, it will be time limited.</div>

Send me the coupon code, I'll include it the same way in my site.<br class="">

<div class="">Longer term, I’d like to be able to do more for

good. You might want to note that <i class="">antennas</i>
for the modem's 3G & GPS ports are not included with
the modem board. Some cars provide GPS, and don't
require it from the modem.<br class="">

You said there would be special pricing for developers?
Just curious. I don't mind paying full price, since the
initial prototype was provided free.<br class="">
