    Re: Announcing VCM Suite v1.5 !!!

    1) Does this mean new users can order on or before 10/29/04, pay $499+$75+$10 and you'll just send the VCM Suite 1.5 with the EIO cable? Or would we have to wait for receipt of the old cable and ship it back into you?

    2) If not, I presume the $499/$649 prices include shipping as it's not specified?

    3) Standard 6 month's worth of updates still included or has it changed?

    Re: Announcing VCM Suite v1.5 !!!

    Jim,

    1) All new orders of VCM Suite with our Enhanced IO interface will cost $649 + Shipping. We just picked the date of Friday to help any possible confusion during the transition. We assume orders between now and friday will be for the current version they want in the future. We do not expect orders placed between now and friday to be returned to us for upgrade.

    2) Those prices do not include shipping as our products and checkout page indicate.

    3) Standard 6 months is still included.

    For existing trade-ins, an additional 6 months of software upgrades will not be included do to the the low upgrade price.

    Re: Announcing VCM Suite v1.5 !!!

    Not sure if you can answer this, but which LM-1 wideband components do I need to use your EIO with it? The RPM converter? The AuxBox? Neither/Both?

    It seems like I just need the LM-1 base kit, which includes an analog output cable..?

    Re: Announcing VCM Suite v1.5 !!!

    I dont need the CAD interface as I have an early '04 Monaro...



    Do I still need to buy the upgrade to use Wideband inputs?

    Will the std. v1.5 version with my existing cable work with wideband?

    If I do upgrade, and get a enhanced interface, will it work with OBDII and CAD interfaces?

    Re: Announcing VCM Suite v1.5 !!!

    The Enhanced IO interface is not our CAN interface.

    If you wish to use our product integrated with a wide band interface you will need to upgrade to the Enhanced IO interface as our current interface has no provisions to hook up to any aux. inputs or outputs.
