    Posted: June/09/07 at 7:00am

Hey gang,

Juli pushed me recently to contact Ian Cull about a group buy on his Auto-Up Circuit. Here's a link for those of you unfamiliar:

http://www.gbmini.net/wp/auto-up_windows/

Sorry R56 owners but it does not work for the 07 hardtops only the older model. He does this as a labor of love and makes almost no money on the item but will reduce the price from $45 to $40 if we make one order of at least 10 and ship to one location.

I guess I have been nominated and to start things off I will take 3.

Let's put a close date on this of July 8 and see how it works. I've never done this before so let me know if I am missing anything. This is my pennance for inadvertantly stringing Meg and Dave along on my Bentley Manual.

For those on the fence, this is one GREAT mod to add to you MINI.  I love mine.  I assume this is the auto-up only?  Not the garage door circuit or race mode circuit in addition?

Mark me down for two!!  One for me and one for David... I promised him I would get him one.  Apparently, when you're a MINI owner you say it with mods!

Looks like we have 11. I am waiting for a reply from Ian about the features included but this is from his site:

The gV6 MINI circuit is now available, featuring re-designed electronics which incorporates auto-up, track-mode-DSC and AFF in one low-priced design, compatible with all 2001-2006 hardtop MINIs, and 2005-2007

Sometime in the next week or so i will figure out the best payment arrangement for us. Still plenty of time to add more to the list though.

Although I already have one I'm tempted to update.  Can you check to see if the new version is all inclsive - BOTH windows auto up (my version you had to chose left or right) AND garage door opener (mine stopped working a while ago).

 

Cheers!!

An auto up circuit is a great and easy mod!  I don't have the Ian Cull version, but I love mine and would recommend it to anyone!  If you are on the fence, just jump in and do it.

ok gang, it is time to get organized. Since we live in the woods I am gonna ask everyone to either mail their payment to my PO Box or bring it in person to the BBQ on the 8th. The amount is $40 even ( I'll cover postage because we are gonna get 3 ourselves and ten can ship just as cheaply. ) Make your check payable to me, Jeff Johnstonbaugh, and I'll send a single Money Order to Ian on the Ninth

The P.O Box address is:

PO BOX 292

Southworth WA, 98386

Please post a note online when you send payment so I can keep a tally. Remember we have to hit ten to get the discount.

Cheers, jj

It's not too late for anyone. I had the pleasure of meeting Ian last summer and he is a great guy. His product is renowned. It is a pleasure to bring it to as many of our members as would like it so come one come all!

Circuits are here! I'll check the envelopes and figure out where everyone lives. I am at home in at Southworth today and tomorrow and then tomorrow at midnight I catch a plane to Arkansas for the weekend. Anyone want to have cocktails at the airport tomorrow? Kelley'll be here all weekend too and I am back on Sunday.

Southworth is a long way from Kirkland... I might be able to meet you at the airport tomorrow evening, though; or if anyone else in Seattle or the Eastside is getting them this weekend, I'd be willing to arrange something.

I'm very eager to get this mod installed, as the nice weather calls for the windows down a lot while motoring!

Julie and Dave are kinda in the middle. Maybe i can hook up with them tomorrow or go to Seatac via West Seattle Ferry instead of the Narrows Bridge. If you are still online Jeff, PM me your phone # and we'll see what we can work out tomorrow. If I get it to one of the folks downtown then maybe they can hand off to you on Sat or something like that.

Just wanted to say thanks to HighBid for organizing this; I got it installed yesterday and it works great.

One note: I've got an '05 MINI, and as the instructions note, a few things are different. I tried the blind install, but had no luck with that. But undoing the down pillars was pretty easy -- just give a yank on the center dash piece from the bottom to pull it out (05+ don't have screws for this piece; good idea to check first, though), undo two Torx screws on each pillar and pull them forward, then undo two Torx screws on the switch panel, and you get easy access to the plug. If I had known what I was doing from the beginning, it probably would've taken just a few minutes to undo things, a few minutes to install, and a few minutes to put it back together. So don't be scared of this method -- it actually worked quite well.

Let me know how you want to do the pick up.  I live in the Parkland area.  Can meet just about anywhere South in the early evenings.

Hiya, Jeff:

You going to be around this weekend?  Maybe I can wander your way or meet you somewhere handy.  I have been kinda watching for someone to set up a meeting close, but nothing very soon.  Let me know - I can meet you maybe at Don's coffee in Lacey or even at the car show - no big rush on my end.

Thanks for doing this, buddy - I really appreciate it.
