It may take us a while to make the PCBs, assemble and test finished modules.
Please be patient.
To be fair to everyone, we will start collecting payments and sending the modules as soon as we finish making/testing the whole batch. Should take us about 3 weeks.

Any discount if we buy a pair of these + the wiper relay?

any kind of volume discount?

Sorry, can't give you a discount for small orders.
We can talk about discounts for orders of 10 pairs (or 10 pieces of other modules, or a combination of modules) through PM.

Perfect been waiting for something like this for a long time

Well, I don't know what it looks like, but E30 Innovative Goods is a two guy team. We make this stuff for fun in our spare time for our cars. We offer the mods to anyone else that wants them.
A batch means we know in advance the number sets needed and it just makes it much much easier for us to plan the time to order, assemble and test a bunch of the same modules.

In short it makes our lives easier and leaves more time to R&D other modules.
You can, of course, order through our website also. :)

This is pretty awesome of you guys to do. Cool stuff.

Theoretically, the window should work the same way as stock if you learn how long the switch needs to be held down to achieve the desired gap without making the window go into 1 touch mode. Besides, what's the big deal between 1/4" and let's say 1/2"?

Actually it is the other way around. You need to hold the switch a little longer for it to skip the one touch function. So a press and hold will start the window moving (after a short delay). Then it is up to your reflexes to release the switch. The faster you are the smaller the opening will be. :)

While I agree, it needs to be enclosed/wrapped, this is very close to perfect. I'd say it's the best option for E30 owners with stock switches. 100% plug and play, takes up very little space and zero wiring or rewiring. The price is fair as well. I have installed aftermarket units with about 15 wire connections x 2 for 4 windows. So I can appreciate the simplicity of this product. PnP means you can move them from car to car with little effort should you sell or wreck the car.

Thank you for appreciating the work done.
As said, we are looking into a way to make it more water-proof.

I forgot to ask...is there a current limiter that stops the window motors once the window is fully open/closed or there's an obstruction?

Yes there is. It stops the motors if the current exceeds a certain value. :up:

Well, it's all fun and game till you set someone's car on fire! Doh!



I think that instinctively saying, it not quite true. On any car I've ever owned, being able to crack the window to what ever little bit I wanted to is kinda important.

This is a good first start! But not really complete, or 100% functional, since there are better options out there.

We don't think it is necessary

1/4" - well that's tough to master even without any modules

Would it be possible to apply some protective varnish or some kind of epoxy on the circuit board? I worry the switch location is prone to having liquids drip there and that can easily short circuit the naked board.

I see there is a lot of worry about this issue.
We don't think it is necessary, but we will look into it and see what can be done.

So, with the stock window switch and this unit, I can't imagine it being easy to lower the window a 1/4" of an inch. I've had an after market units just like this in my car (not an e30- but an e28) and it was soooooooo annoying that I ripped them out.

BTW - You can buy them for $27 - and a bit of wiring. So Less then $60 out the door. Here: http://www.sears.com/autoloc-one-tou...g&gclsrc=aw.ds

Your video was really unclear of a situation where I want to crack my window 1/4" of an inch. Or if I have to fight it each and every time.

I know on modern BMW's (later then say 2000?) you get switches that have two steps to them. How is this better then what already being offered?

1/4" - well that's tough to master even without any modules, just the stock switch.
While making the video in the OP my son was also playing with the switch... this is what happened:



So to answer your question, it can be done, maybe not the first time you try, but when you get used to it you can do it.

Our design is specially made for E30 cars. It is clean, simple and totally P&P. If you like a bunch of black boxes lying around your car and spaghetto-technics to connect them, that is your choice.
Can't really compare a generic module with a custom made module.
