pm me

I usually don't like to because of the customs and extra paperwork. big ole headache on the shippers side.

I just sold a GPS units from my plane on eBay and specified no outside of US bidders but somehow they still got through.
Long story short, didn't want to relist so took half the day to find a dhl shipper got it out after hours of paperwork, and two weeks later, still stuck in customs because buyer refused import tax or something and my payment is in limbo with paypal.

dunno if canada is all that different, but pm me and ill see what i can do.

Supplier updates.....

Just got a hold of my supplier and here are some updates.

The C-3 and C-4 units are most likely going to all come with the complete 5 wire set up. Not much cost savings between r a 2 wire or 5 wire setup.

I currently have two software versions, 7-2014 and 9-2014. trying to see which version is better. will ship with the best one.
i had a lot of people asking me about the "developer mode" and if it comes with it. i have not been able to completely immerse myself into the software, so if someone who know more than me know how i can quickly tell if the mode is enabled in my software, please pm me.

cost will be as follows and includes shipping. (priority mail inside 48 states us)

dell d620/630 1.8/2.0 ghz, 2g gig ram. C-3 unit 5 cables fully configured. $600

upgrade to C-4 wireless unit + $220

upgrade to from 80 gig 7200 rpm 128 gig Solid State Hard Drive (SSD) +110
(runs much much faster with this option)

upgrade from dell to IBM X61 Touchscreen +200
(only works with the D-4 unit for now, working on config with D-3 setup)

ill need about 5-8 days turn around time to test and config each order.

im also located in san jose if you would like to pick up yourself in person and try it out before you buy.


I will take paypal for payment but prefer not to since the margin is so low on these, ill be eating 3-5% in fee's.

same reasoning i can offer mb world members a little discount off my buy it now on eBay. just the savings in fee's....

i think there is a way to get paid though paypal without getting hit for surcharges, so again, pm me if you know.

here's some pix of both units running diagnostics on my 2014 e class convertible.

I'm in Canada, and also interested. I do have a US shipping depot though, but won't be able to visit it until July or August. At this stage I'm planning far ahead.

Anyway, question - the computer will be loaded with a recent version of WIS too, or?

Thanks.

Hi all,

just an update on these if anyone is interested .

after completing a couple units and sending them out on ebay, i just realized that I'm selling them at almost break even price or making like $50 on each order. considering how many hours i spent to configure the units and the time i spend with the buyer doing troubleshooting, its just not worth it for me to sell the base units at $600. If i already spoke with you and have something set up, ill still honor the $600 price but any new orders ill have to sell at $650. Shipping alone on to some dresses cost almost $30. i have on eBay buy it now at $680 and buyer pays for actual shipping cost. sorry for upping the price but it wasn't worth doing especially if you figure i have to get the from my supplier at 10 units at a time paid up front, and i covered shipping cost.
