Another solid milestone.

One of the production-intent PCBs has now completed the full design-check testing and passed. The other assembled boards are also functioning correctly and are going through final system-level checks.

At this point the PCB design itself looks solid. Power, MCU, display, encoders, buttons, reset behavior, and the other major board functions are all working as intended.

The dimmer circuit is already built into the board, but the actual rheostat signal depends on other vehicle modules being present, so there is no point trying to perfectly recreate that on the bench.

We are officially at the point where the bench has told us just about everything it can.

Next stop: the truck.

---

Since we're getting close enough that people are asking, I'll address pricing.

I'm currently targeting approximately $1,099 for the complete kit.

That is not a final locked price yet.

The goal is still a complete plug-and-play system: controller, display, physical HVAC controls, and the vehicle-specific harness.

I'm not taking deposits or preorders yet.

But if roughly $1,099 changes whether you're interested, I'd rather know that now than after production is already underway.

I think because I know and appreciate the hours you've been putting in. Id gladly pay that

It may help (just me?) to add some clarification to this - "a complete plug-and-play system: controller, display, physical HVAC controls, and the vehicle-specific harness." One man's plug-and-play is... You get the idea.

Are we talking, bezel/surround, brackets, in addition to the above? And what, if any, other components will be needed for CarPlay integration?

 

[zgfiredude]

And I'll add one more question.....what sort of "warranty" will this come with?

 

[Formerjeeper]

That price does not at all change my interest/excitement.

 

[Anarchy]

By plug-and-play, I mean the complete HVAC replacement assembly with harness (no cutting or modification of the factory wiring).

To be absolutely clear: NOT supplying any brackets, faceplates, trim kits, or mounting hardware for CarPlay/Android Auto head units or aftermarket radios.

Warranty details are not finalized yet, but this will be sold as a supported finished product, not an unsupported prototype. I expect to provide a defined warranty covering defects in the controller, display, and supplied harness. I will publish the exact warranty period and terms before orders are opened.

 

[sholie]

Still in,

 

[NCMTNS]

I’m in. Just to understand layout your new HVAC replacement will reside where the gray cassette controls are (circled in green)? I believe that’s what I saw in previous posts but wanted to confirm.

Will the other “black bar” above it with security and clock display/contols still remain?

 

[SJCruiser07]

Yes, please - I'm in! Take my cash. Put me on the list. All the things!

Of course, <--- THIS guy is IN!

[wesr4242]

The price is pretty much what I expected. With that said I am definitely still in.

 

[Manhattan]

I'm probably still in. I just have to wait for you guys to figure out the perfect screen, head unit, bezel, and CarPlay combo to buy

 

[Roachlx]

Still in considering the guys from the Middle East selling rhd oem kits for 1600 used with a huge amount of splicing required. 1100 is worth the fit and finish and ease of install.
