I'm still working out all the details but I expect to start shipping out the first lot in about 2 weeks. There won't be an upgrade possibility but there will be a previous customers special Group Buy.

Bruce,
What is the least amount of resistance you can get away with without triggering an error? Basically, is it in anyway possible to make the cables with lesser wattage resistors to draw less power compared to OEM halogen taillights, if they don't already do?

This looks to be a complete makeover from the V5 cables. Can you help explain what the specific upgrade advantages are for current V5 cable owners? This enclosure looks to be twice or even three times the size of the v5 cables. Being a relatively new V5 customer, I've already spent $350 USD on these cables. IMO, the V6 would need some very compelling features that the V5 does not have. What those are, I don't know....the V5 seem to work perfectly as-is. But maybe you're not targeting current customers with this version?

Please include me on any Group Buy for these. I'm a "new" customer with no prior purchase. Thanks. These look extremely professional. May I hope that because they now require less tedious, manual labor that they might actually be less expensive than before?
