RR is the man!!

P.S. RR, I'm shipping something out to you today. :D:

Great! Too bad im on the other side of US.... Im guessing Monday or Tuesday would be mine's ETA...

Well, believe it or not, after I closed my browser and went on doing my things..the door bell rings... The mail man... And guess what I got???????????????

You have only 1 guess... :P

No instructions or website in envelope :p

There are a few people that I have shipped replacements to but haven't received their defected one. I need certain parts off of the old units to make new ones. If you're one of these people, please mail it back asap.

Thanks

Mine doesnt work. Sunroof opens auto but closes normal. I did noticed it getting hot while I pressed it...

ah crap... sending a pm

Replied check if i gave you a good idea.

:uhh: RR,

I installed my replacement module on 5/31 and it worked great, but now (5 days later) it no longer works. I closes only if I keep my finger on the switch (normal closing mode). Is there something I can check out or are others having the same problem? By the way, I may not have returned the first module that was defective so I will have to check my garage to see if I still have it. I didn't see a note to return the old module when I got the new one so I can't swear I didn't throw the bad one away. Sorry.

Dean

If you find it, please send it back. Since people are still having problems with these, it's clear that the 555 timer can not support the load of the sun roof relay. It seems that there are variances from car to car in terms of the load the sunroof relay draws.

I just placed an order for 15 ultra low draw relays. These will sit between the sunroof and my module, sinking the load of the sunroof relay. This means that instead of taping the red wire, it will have to be cut. Other than that, the installation will be the same.

If anyone would like to have their money refunded rather than wait for another replacement. Don't be shy, just ask.

By the way, I finished one of these updated circuits today and I'm positive that it will fix the problem.

mine's still working perfectly! :D:

Rotary Rasp, you should send me that 1st unit, for Birthday present. :)

RR,

No luck in finding the first module. I must have tossed it. :banghead: Let me know when you are shipping out the module fix. Thanks in advance. :bowdown:

Dean

Can you send back the second module I sent you?

RR,

Dean

Absolutely! Just PM me your mailing address information and I will get it right out to you. [Yes, that's right I threw out the second envelope too.]

RR,

Still waiting on a PM from you with your mailing info so I can send the second module back to you.

Dean

Sorry, I was back east for a few days.

Got your PM with the mailing info. No problem with the delay.

Well, it's been quite a while, haven't gotten any reply... I still have a bad mod, I was in the impression you were going to send me a replacement? I have the bad one, I sent you a PM about this.

I'd like to thank everyone for their patience. I completed 5 revised modules and I'm confident that the problem has been solved. The first thing you will notice when you get the new modules is that there is now 4 wires instead of 3. This means the installation will be slightly more complex. The first post will be updated with new instructions in a day or two.

I'm going to mail them out in the next few days.

Thanks!

Do you need my return address?

Yeah, send me a PM please, thanks.

I need everyone that is waiting for a replacement to send me a PM with the following:

Name
Address
If you've already sent the broken one back..... if so, when?

Revised 4 wire module.

http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u274/rx8rasp/One%20Touch%20Sunroof/DSCF0048.jpg
Step 1: Remove the overhead console by taking out the two screws and pulling the console down.

http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u274/rx8rasp/One%20Touch%20Sunroof/DSCF0292.jpg
Step 2: Locate the red wire and cut it. Make sure you don't cut it too close to the console because will make it hard to work with later. After you cut it, strip about 1/4" of the installation off each wire. I forgot to take pictures of this part... sorry.

http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u274/rx8rasp/One%20Touch%20Sunroof/DSCF0298.jpg
Step 3: Slide on the connectors. The male connector goes on the red wire coming from the console and the female connector goes on the red wire coming from the roof. After the connectors are on the wires, carefully crimp them with pliers.

http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u274/rx8rasp/One%20Touch%20Sunroof/DSCF0296.jpg
Step 4: Attach the ground wire as shown. The ground wire has the black tip. It's also longer than the rest. An 8mm socket is needed to loosen the bolt.

http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u274/rx8rasp/One%20Touch%20Sunroof/DSCF0300.jpg
Step 5: Plug in the two connectors from the module to the car and attach the power wire (the only remaining wire) to the screw located below the red wire.

Looking forward getting new module. Old one was sent out yesterday USPS Priority Mail...

RR,

I just PMed you my mailing address information. The module is being sent tomorrow (6/20). Sorry for being a week late, but I had to travel most of this week and I just got back home. Please let me know if you can mail me the replacement module tomorrow if you have enough finished ones to include me.

Dean

PM'd you. Payment and waiver were both sent to your hotmail email.

Everybody's package has been mailed.

Thank you all for waiting.

I encourage everyone to install these as soon as they can.

WOO HOO!!

thanks RR!

Got mine today, I will try to get it in tonight!

I didn't read the previous page...ignore this post...

RR,

I will keep an eye out for it. It doesn't take long to install but will do so as soon as I get it. Thanks.

Dean

Installing it now...pretty straightforward.

no..

Dumb question...but do I have to disconnect the battery? Are any of the wires hot?

no..

I figured that out fast...

One thing I did notice is that mine does not stop if something gets in the way. It just keeps on closing.

i installed my original ordered module this past weekend before I read this thread...it seems to work fine...the only problem is I keep forgetting I have it and still hold the button down....eh.

I got mine in the mail today!!! I still can't install it, my car is at MazSport...

Everything working as planned?

I will let you know probably tomorrow or the day after (after I pick up my car from MazSport and I install it)

Just installed mine and it worked! Thanks RR!

I still have not received my replacement in the mail yet. :sad:

Did it come yet?

Are these still available and will you send it to me in Australia?

:rolleyes: No, I haven't received my replacement module yet. I sent the second module back to you on 6/20 and you received it on 6/23. Did you mail it with the others? It shouldn't be taking this long.

I mailed them all at the same time. I will make you another one and mail it this weekend.

I'm assuming that all the replacement modules are working perfectly because I haven't seen anyone post otherwise....

except for m4f1050, who posted that it works great....

I've been sick all week so I didn't get a chance to go to the postal office until yesterday.

Every package has been shipped.

I have two modules remaining. I'd like to sell them so I can be done with this project.

PM me if anyone wants one still.

RR,

Sorry to hear you have been sick. I hope you are feeling better. Thanks for mailing the module. I look forward to receiving and installing it.

Dean

Thanks for your condolences.

now it's time for the next GB RR.

lol, seriously, this one is pretty much closed now that i've sold those last two.

I'm going to double check my parts pile, but I'm pretty sure i'm out of parts.

RR,

I just got my module today in the mail. I will try to get it installed by tomorrow because I am off to Japan and Korea on business as of Friday. I'll let you know how I make out with the new module. Thanks.

Dean

Well then, I really hope customs releases mine soon! :uhh:

But yes, make another GB! Dare I say it... yes... +1 vote for more LED clears ;)

RR,

Actually, I couldn't wait until today to install the module so I did it before going to bed last night and it works perfectly! Thanks very much for the updated module and your efforts to get me (and others) replacements as soon as you could.

Dean:)

Got it! I'll let you know when I ship.

Got the module, installed it, works great! Thanks!

Damn I missed out on this one...

damn, i did too. i didn't realize it would be a limited time thing. well, hit me up if you decide to do another batch, i'm definitely in (i HATE holding down the close button!! :) )

rodger's RX-8 is no more so I'm not sure if he'll make any more of these.
(just a heads up)

darn

laythor: sending PM

WHAT!?!?! nooooo what happened?

new engine + leaking fuel = ball of fire

^.................Oh that sucks big time!
I hadn't heard that! :banghead:

Is that what really happened to his car?

yup... it looks so gross haha...

Wow.....I can only imagine.

Just installed mine and it worked! Thanks RR!

Just a heads up, module works awesome! 2 months later and still kickin'! Thanks RR!

Where can I get this module? I almost drove into a car because of this sunroof..

wonderful: unfortunately this Group Buy is closed and there are no more modules available.
RotaryRasp's car caught fire so he no longer drives an Rx-8, I doubt he'll be making more.

He's waiting for his bimmer to clear customs... :D:

best bet to get it is to post in the parts for sale/wanted section and hope someone is trading in or selling their car soon.

rough life, i know :lol:

But to answer the questions asked. I'm not making anymore because (a) the group buy is long over and (b) I have to order the parts in bulk.

As laythor mentioned, your best bet is to check the for sale thread.

-Rodger

Another option is to buy a module for a single up down for a power window.

Like from DEI

Not as custom but should fit the bill.

Those pictures above are not caused by using the one touch sunroof module!

Ouch that is rough RR.

I still have one that I never installed. It's still in the original envelope from Rodger, if anybody really wants it. PM me if you really want it.
Being in Florida, I just don't open it that much to warrant putting it in, and if I do open it(rarely) it's not such a big deal to me. No bidding wars or anything, so I will honor Rodgers original price noted in thread one(including his paypal statement)....except the shipping charge(if that has gone up?). I will ship it the cheapest way possible. If you PM me about this..........at least include your zip so I can check, but expect around $5.00 tops for that.
