The remote is actually finally available, the price is $595.
the remote works kind of like an iPod, with vehicle cues.
On the menu, you can chose which height you want to adjust, and display of a shock will appear and the click down will say lowering 1/4 inch, 1/2 inch etc.
Once the remote is plugged into the provided harness in the V2 the knobs are disabled, and all controls will be made via remote.

I called the shop I'm going to have the ELM installed at, and he called Renntech. Looks like they changed the design. Original design was to cost $99. This new iPod design costs $595. I'm going to have the shop extend the lines for that price.

LOL!!! $595 for a wired remote, no less. Why not just extend the harness?
Jangy can't buy RennTech stuff anymore. I'm looking for my suspension source for the next generation.
Charles, dude!! LOL, you are too funny assuming you won't be left holding the egg just because you followed the instructions. Try having their own installer install and see if they even cover that!!

I really like having it under my cup holder as seen in the pics above. Who cares about the remote. Guess if you kept the box at your floor panel then the remote could help, but to me its really them looking for one more way to make money off you. Spend $5 on wires and solder and shrink wrap and spend the 20 extra minutes it takes to extend it to a more convenient location. Just make sure its hidden well so the dealer wont see it.

Regarding the cupholder, I have an '03. Is your cupholder in the same location as mine? My cupholder is located just before that center arm rest/storage compartment.

That's too bad. I've been off the board maybe close to a year now. The last I read was your post to sell the ELM, then your decision to keep it.

I forgot all about your butterfly armrests!! I do not know how it would work on yours. Maybe try what i want to do and thats to put it in the little compartment under the driver seat.
