  • It's only really cold if you fall down in it.
    • C-14 farkles you almost cannot ride without.
26 May UPDATE: Now have some back in stock! They can be ordered via my website (www.Incontrolne.com) if shipping inside the US, or contact me directly via my e-mail (at the top / left hand corner of this page) and I will send you an invoice if shipping outside the US.

Thanks for your patience- it has been an uphill struggle getting to these things.

To my non- US customers and potential customers: shipping prices have recently dropped dramatically. I have no idea why this is but what was a common price to ship to many parts of the world overseas was in the $20 to $30 (US) range, which was frankly ridiculous. These were the prices actually charged me to ship my products; I do not tack on any extra for shipping. And of course, a shipping charge of $30 was quite substantial on a $50 retail cost product.

I just got a price to ship to Australia and it was $8 (US) which includes both actual shipping charges as well as exchange rate surcharges. Shipping to Canada has been $5 (US) recently.

I just wanted to let the folks outside the US know that my products are now a lot more reasonable to purchase due to a dramatic decrease in shipping costs.

Thanks for the kind words and glad to hear you like the product.

And now we all know that the range indicator will not read in the negative range. :-)

Hello Brian
I was wondering if the Kipass bypass is still available?
 Mine just crapped out.
Thanks

Yes but I am out of stock and nursing a shoulder injury- I cannot assembly any at the moment. Check back in a few (4 to 6) weeks and I <should> have some.

Also working on the website to fix various broken links and provide some more info. about the products.

Thanks. The should is much better and continues to improve but it has been such a long road that for a while I was convinced it was not and never would heal. But slowly (over six months now) the discomfort has lessened and the range of motion has improved.

Then again, I have found what is apparently a very good physical therapy routine- lots of shooting followed by lots of reloading. Hey, not my fault the most effective P.T. is a prime pastime of mine, right?

Yes. The web link is down though so I have been selling them directly through PayPal. Shoot me an email (top left of this page I believe) and I will respond.

That one is quite a bit more difficult to interrupt / alter. It could be done but it would be prohibitively expensive.

You can turn it off manually though using this sequence:
Press and hold the top button on the dash
Press and release the bottom button
Release the top button.

This will clear the warning and turn on the red LED on the left hand side of the dash (the general 'warning' light). And you have to do it for every error (twice if both tire pressure sensors are showing low battery, for example) and every time the ignition is turned on. Not slick but at least you can get rid of that flashing LCD screen.

I made a youtube video to illustrate installation. Even running a Canon Camcorder it took about 35 minutes. Quality of the harness is a 10.

The video has unspoken qualities.  It left me speechless.  There are no words that describe it.  Recommending it to help with installation would be the voice of reason.  What else can I say?

Give it a few days and see if he responds.  If not you should be able to contact him via PM or the email link on his profile.
