Hi,
Ouch on that price AND they want your core to avoid additional charges!
What can they be thinking?
A Complete wireless controller can replace that thing in a blink for the same effort to buy and install theirs.
They should have shopped for better automotive part rebuilders before booking this into a production run.
I’ll bet the front office has eaten up their budget allocation to someone who saw them coming.
Now they need a few foolish enthusiasts to pay them back.
If it’s still worth something to them … why not us too.
No mention of trade-in values or the handling both ways yet either.
BB right about internet is handing out “willie’s” but plastic card benders don’t feel them.
My cash came harder earned, thank you.
I’m sorry but there is just not enough in materials in making that thing.
The Wiring with connectors are every where else in the car doing more duty than an occasional door lock flick.
The central relays are where the motions are happening.
The pull knob is a momentary, spring loaded, closing switch in either direction.
The clip over the lock cylinder has fairly frail issues and who’s says the new one is any better.
An Empty sales pitch for an electrical item that usually has a no refund policy included.
This is not an offering with bucks like that attached.
A “list price” from out of nowhere, costs nothing to produce! Wishful thinking as pies from the sky.
Not even some new and improved jargon to hold them too.
At $220 I don’t even see the motorized lock actuators used on the doors.
It’s all a set sliding contacts and a few wires.
Slide switches are the cheapest switches made compared to a toggle.
Someone referenced limit switches as “snap switches.” Cute phrase.
🤨 more bulky but a lot more reliable.
Not exactly an assembly line click on and go setup though.
I just toured the Ford Rouge F-150 factory in Michigan and trust me @ $75 to $97 an hour nothing looks slow and hard to install.
Each worker has a one minute time limit @ their station.
It’s a rhythm well planned to work as a team from the entry doors to exit doors.
Just in time “inventory scheduling” is maxed out.
This item listed is done the same way on a smaller scale of course.
One thing I noticed about Michigan or maybe the whole USA was the lack of buildings with manufacturing names plastered about. A decal on the office door or an obscure signage up high.
You have no idea who works in or OWNS these small businesses or factories in reality.
Sure has changed from my days of having a “pride of company” for products within me.
