yeah but it's not built into the switch - there's a module that controls the one-touch operation and there are also two versions of one-touch on the E36. George made it sound like it does one touch up and down.

@#$& I just In to see if this is worth sweating over my center console and crimping 16 butt connectors again...

I'll bet you it is...:)

Holy shyte! I want cool guy switches!

[george graves]

I'm talking about the E36 switch in a E36

Sorry man - this is an e30 forum. This mod is for an e30. e36 is a different beast.

George made it sound like....

Ditto - no e36 talk here. It does to one touch up and down. As described. one touch - 2 stage, and remote open/close. Basically everything you could want.

Pending price, I'm interested in 4. Eventually 8.

[Poorboyz]

George,

When can we expect pricing on these units? You say you have 4 ready to go...what is your turn around time for building one of these?

Thanks

As described. one touch - 2 stage, and remote open/close.

So it is 2 stage where the first stage is regular window control, and then when you push it harder it is one touch?

Exactly. That's what "true one touch" is. It's a two stage switch. - Just as you described. (I was hoping not to need to make a video for this product...but perhaps I should?)

what is your turn around time for building one of these?

I'm still a bit leery of taking a large order. I've learned that lesson the hard way once before. Been there - wasn't fun. My cost on these is not trivial. Between the control unit and the switches/bezels, harness and connectors..blah blah blah. It's something I've thought about a lot.

So I'll sell the first 4. Then most likely another batch of 10-20 built to order. At that point I'll see if my guess on the labor is right and if not adjust my price upwards.

I've contacted my suppliers to make sure I can get what I need. the control units and the switches are the only variable. So, I'm going to base my limits on those.

BTW - http://www.blunttech.com/ will be one of my suppliers for this. I can't say enough about Steve at blunttech. He went above and beyond to help make this happen. Blunt sets the bar for customer service. I have a huge man crush on him and the way he does business.

That's abuse of power! LOL

[saturnv7890]

I spent the better half of this morning trying to make a wiring diagram to do this myself... but I'm 6 relays deep with still no way to have auto up AND down haha. Not an electrical guy by any means. I will definitely just send my money your way when they're ready!

[Poorboyz]

So I'll sell the first 4.

Dibs on first 4 switches...lol

George, thanks for all your cool projects for the E30. Keep up the good work.

[AwakenNoMore]

What if you already have the switches, will your units just plug into small base switches as-is or are they modified as well?

[golde30]

instructions for those of us who are already running the non-1 touch e36 switches?

I don't think this is a minority market, mite be worth your time to address this setup? Obviously it wont be plug n play for us running e36 switches, since the e30 harness has been cut off and e36 spliced in.
