Do the ones for 05's work yet? Testing done yet?
Can we send in the connector and not pay the extra $50.00.
No. No. Yes.
But, please protect the PCM pins from exposure to the elements while the block-off is removed. Perhaps some electrical tape carefully placed over the opening of the connector. You must be sure not to get any electrical tape residue on the pins. You don't want to get the pins dirty and cause a bad contact, which may cause our product to work intermittently.
Oh great...thanks....I thought I was gonna do some casual reading on here and then call it a night...it been a long day. You go post that...I scratch my head....and open another browser and do what I think will be a quick search on Google for an answer...nah....I'm not reading though that stuff to figure that out.
I'm using it to describe the probability that someone will order a transmission simulator at a given time. As time progresses, the number of orders increases until a peak is reached, then the finite nature of the SRT-4 kicks in, and the orders drop off to 0 again.
However, the problem is that the integral of the gaussian function is = 1. That means that over infinite time, every SRT-4 owner or even every S2 or S3 would need to buy a transmission simulator.
As far as we know, this is only an issue with toys.
The current theory is that the Mopar guys needed some extra inputs and outputs to create the turbo toys. Ie. sprayer pump, switches, LEDs, etc. They were probably maxed out on the stock PCM, so they grabbed an auto trans version of the same PCM. Then, they re-used some of the auto trans circuits to implement the toys.
However, for some reason they left fragments of the auto trans software in the PCM. Thus, those of us with toys are duly boned.
That is, until we came along and kicked down the turbo toys door. BAm!

didnt know that. thanks for the time and nfo on my question.
We have included an OBD code scanner in the automatic transmission simulator. With it we are able to check for any other trouble codes you might have, and perform all inspection readiness tests. If the LED on the transmission simulator is solid on, you know you are good to go!
Note: The OBD wire is required. The transmission simulator will not function without it. Also, the transmission simulator will only function on the first car it is connected to. Please, one car per transmission simulator.
Why does it program itself to the car? Why couldn't you have made it work on any car?

Is it just a revenue thing or was there a technical reason?

If the price of the connector is figured into the cost of the product, why do you need our connector?

Given the infrequent usage of our product, we realized it would be very easy for a large SRT owner club to purchase a single unit and share it among members when they needed it. This puts owners that are not near such a club at a disadvantage because the price needs to be higher to account for the lost sales. Also, we've put a lot of R&D into this product and we would like to be compensated for it.
That is why we went with the model of one unit per car. It is permanently mounted to your car, and you never have to worry about it again.
However, we are giving you extra value with the OBD interface built in. We are able to perform the equivalent of an OBD inspection every time you start the car. If our LED is on, not only do you know that the transmission simulator is working, you know that your car has passed an OBD inspection.
If the light is blinking, you know you have other problems you need to fix. Our blinking pattern will give you some help in figuring out where the problem is.

The price of the connector pins is figured in the cost of the product. Even though we get the block-off from you, we still need to populate it with pins. We have to buy those from Dodge. They are very expensive.
Plus, the connector on the other end of the harness, the nylon braid, the heatshrink, fuse, fuse holder, terminals, etc. The wiring harness and enclosure comprise 75% of the cost. There really is no way to reduce the cost of those parts.
I've worked hard to reduce the PCB and part cost. That's why it is only 25% of the total cost.
There's not much more I can do. If we had huge volumes we could have them assembled in China. But we don't and never will, so we'll be hand assembling these in our garages. That takes time. And time = money.
But, with that money we hope to offer superb quality and reliability. Each unit is fully electrically tested at two different points in the assembly. I have designed a custom microprocessor based tester to do this.
We have an excellent warranty because we believe we are building a quality product.
I met Never2MuchBoost and Phrozen and watched them work on devolping this. Without knowing all the exact details of what they went through to get to this stage, I think I can still say this device should not be considered some silly gizmo that was cobbled together in order to make a quick buck.
I hope the sale of this device works out for them....anyone who labors on something to insure profection deserves it.
