Exclamation ABC light off plugin box PROJECT

I think it's time that I build a similar like strutmasters ABC off box
I started the project 3-4 years ago but didn't go on.










I have , scanned it, easy to build one
the program I have for the chip fits:
  • 2000-2006 Mercedes S-Class (ALL including 4-MATIC)
  • 2000-2006 Mercedes CL-Class
  • 2003-2006 CLS-Class
  • 2003-2009 Mercedes E-Class (including wagons and 4-MATIC vehicles)
  • 2007-2012 Mercedes GL-Class

Now the big question, please write your Idea here
what would you be willing to pay for it ?
stutmasters price is 399$


waiting for your posts to evaluate if it's possible with your average price

2002 CL500 to CL55 conversion
Good idea as there are quite a few CL owners I’ve come across that are doing the coil over conversion.

to me it’s worth maybe ... $150?

There are times when it’s not cost feasible to fix abc such as if metal particles went through the whole system and damaged all the valve bodies struts and pump

yes I think $99-149 would need to be the price point to get more buyers

me too just wanted to get temps, don't want to go into a project then hear "this is too expensive"
In parallel I am already working on a custom firmware for the cluster and EPC. If that works no need for box

Ok, so this is what these cars need!

BTW, the company I own manufactures electronics in house every week. We can build them for you, right here in the US...We'd need the PCB files and BOM. We can go all the way down to 0402. Building something like the SM version is no issue for us.

Ok, good...I will call you to pay for it as well. I'll switch mine back to ABC and have my mechanic charge your credit card for the repairs...though that will be more than just two cents...Thanks for your generosity!

I would happily pay about 100-200$ for something like that. The reset button on my cluster quit shortly after I bought the car and it'd be nice to be able to use the display while driving.

as soon as I have some other works finished that are in a cue I'll build clones
seeing them to refuse selling a device for 400$ they paid 15$ just because you didn't buy their non adjustable crap spring struts make me sick too
