Sorry pal, I've already placed my order now so you are too late for the postage saving; but you can still buy one now/when your back from hols at the same discounted price that the others got.
In the message box on PayPal just write something like Moheddine group buy. Total inc. delivery to your house is £100.98.

Re: Gaptech group buy!
soooooo, now we all have a cool new gadget that means we can use our key fobs to open the roof from a distance, what/how do you replace/upgrade your key fob?
what i mean is, i saw a thread the other day of people complaining there key fobs don't work more than a few yards away...(mine works a good few metres away..... but longer would be better) which is kind of annoying if you want to open your roof from a longer distance away....
guessing this could probably be a battery related issue, old battery has weaker signal maybe. so while replacing the battery would it be better to replace the whole key fob, if so how easy is this does anybody know? if its cheap/easy enough i assume a lot of people would probs want to upgrade the distance there key fobs would activate there brand new Gaptech OTH+

Re: Gaptech group buy!
haha a group buy of what tho, genuine BMW fobs?Moheddine wrote:I sense a group buy...
ive seen a few "blank keys" with fobs etc on ebay but cant see the quality being too good?
my only key fob is a little beat up (few scratches/dents from being dropped i assume) so i want to replace it anyway so was good timing anyway
anybody know the best place to get these from and what we will need or is it literally just a replacement case/battery??

Tried mine out today at about 40 metres and it worked perfectly, that's enough distance for me! The battery in my keyfob was in it when I bought the car a year ago so could be quite old. I will have another go tomorrow, increasing the distance until it doesn't work.

Re: Gaptech group buy!
ive not really tried mine properly, but id guess 5-10 metres (i want it re-coded so the lights flash on unlock aswel so that would be easier) but im sure i saw some people complaining they literally have to be a few feet from the car for it to work :/Midhurstman wrote:JINGLE wrote:soooooo, now we all have a cool new gadget that means we can use our key fobs to open the roof from a distance, what/how do you replace/upgrade your key fob?

even if my distance is good, its a little beat up so want a nice new one

Re: Gaptech group buy!
Woo Hoo, mine turned up today.
Thanks Moheddine for the group buy And to mike46 for starting the thread and to terryvision for suggesting a group buy and thanks to anyone I've forgotten!
Thought it would be a bit bigger though

Re: Gaptech group buy!
Mine arrived this morning, along with 5 Scotchlok connectors I wasn't expecting - have a surplus bag of those arriving tomorrow now. Oh well, good excuse to do some more mods (must resist MFSW....)!
Thanks to Gaptech for getting it here in one day and to Moheddine for getting things rolling.

Re: Gaptech group buy!
So how have most of you connected these?
I take if nobody is using the crap connectors that came with it!!
I was going to use either 15a or 30a white choc block connectors as will be a more secure connection.
This will split the wires on the loom though to insert the choc block or are people soldering the wires when they split the loom wires in half?

Hard wired mine in today , stripped a bit of insulation off each of the connecting wires on the loom (without cutting through the copper wire), twisted the RCH+ wires to the corresponding wire and soldered them together
Finished off with a bit of insulation tape (would have preferred heat shrink)
