FES Looking for some R57 help
Hi R57 owners! FES is looking to finish two products and we're looking for a little help.
1) InvisiLens for R57 Cabrios. Richard Woo has got the tachometer all done, and is well on the way for finishing the central speedo, but needs some dimensions for the Openometer!
Thanks for looking!

- The lucky helper will get a tach and openometer InvisiLens for helping out.
- The lucky helper will have to take apart the gauge cluster to help get dimensions for the Openometer InvisiLens.
- The lucky helper will have to take some photos for the installation documentation.
- The lucky helper will get a Top Commander for R57 for helping out.
- The lucky helper will have to test the Top Commander and give feedback. If the timing and logic aren't right, we'll send out a unit to test again.
- The lucky helper will have to take some good photos for use in the installation documentation.
- The lucky helper will get an acknowledgment in the installation manual for helping out.
Thanks for looking!

One of the things well be doing...
is adding more photos to the R52 guide. The guy who helped develope it went to ground after he had his working well. I've found someone local to me to help out with improving the instructions.
Anyway, if you take the light box out, you pop out the switches next. Then you disconnect the wiring harnesses from the switches, plug in the top commander, add the wiring harness back on, tap into a power line, and put it all back together.
The shortest install time reported so far has been less than 15 min.

I will be eagerly awaiting the news of this new module. I really dislike holding the switch the entire time it takes to operate the top.
One other thing I wish was possible was more range with the remote. When I bought my R57, I was really looking forward to opening the top as I approached - say in a parking lot - and having it open when I got to the car. Unfortunately my remote only works within about 30-35 feet and then only when approaching the front of the car. From the rear the range is less. I am lucky to get the sunroof section open before I am at the door.
My Honda has a range of over 100 feet.

I am pretty new here, but would be glad to volunteer on the Top Commander. I can offer something no one in SF can - all your photos of top down motoring will include snow!
For the Openometer, can you give me an overview of effort and steps in taking apart my cluster? I could probably assist on that one too.

Hi all, we've got all the info we need to start the beta program
so if you're one of the people who wants to be part of this, either respond to the PM I sent you via the method indicated in the PM, or e-mail me at mattr@fes-auto.com so we can get this rolling.
