Interesting...Where did you put the unit? Does it interfere with the existing Bluetooth calls? Car looks sweet BTW.

I left the unit behind the pop out panel under the heater controls. If I ever want to use the sd or usb I can get at it easily...although I doubt I ever will lol. I only drive the car at weekends, only fitted the unit recently so haven’t used it much but it seems to do exactly as advertised so far.

The g spot is all that comes up when you Google it!

Edit: Found it, it's a flasher... http://www.gstop.co.uk/

Not sure if it works on pre-facelift but I coded flashing brake lights under hard braking on my coupe.

 

[kis]

I thought it was something codeable too? Does anyone know? For the pre facelift...

 

[Coffee331]

It’s nothing to do with G spots

I don’t know if the flashing brake lights can be coded on a pre facelift; I don’t recall seeing anything on Carly but I wasn’t really looking for it either.

I had bought a G Stop for my main car and they emailed me with offering a second unit massively discounted so I thought why not for the Z

It’s a good product, works well and simple to fit.

 

[Coffee331]

Thank you

I seem to remember reading in the handbook of my Alpina which is the pre facelift, when braking hard the whole ring of the rear lights light up rather than just the outer arc of the brake light, no mention on flashing the brake lights.

I have never actually seen it happen though because i'm always driving lol

Is it a discount code? Maybe you could share it in a PM?

It was April last year that I got the code. They are only £8.99 on Amazon now so pretty cheap even without a promo code

Any pics of where/how you fitted it? Not so worried about actual wiring, just best placement of the unit and where you found best to cut into the wires.

 

[Coffee331]

I fitted it to the underside of the boot and tapped in to the wires of the middle brake light. You just cut the factory wires and wire this in to the feed. It’s important that it’s placed flat(ish) for the G sensor to be able to function correctly under heavy braking.
