Group Buy / EOI new generation DNS head units (RNS-510 alternative)

[XQUIZT]

$26,600, invested at 3.5% for 6 months, compounded monthly would have earnt $468.91 in interest :p

Thanks buddy, wasn't a good option after all lol ;P

Would have accounted to about ~$5 per person, so yea, not worth asking about :p Based on what I earn in interest (3.5%), I'm ~$8 out of pocket, had I not paid the full amount 4 months ago. Edit: I'm not saying i'd like an $8 discount, i'm just saying that's the cost of doing business on long term group buys like this one, and it was my own choice to pay in full some 4 months ago. I'm not really fussed, $8 is the cost of 2 and a bit coffees, at the time wage most people earn it's not even worth mentioning.

But that's besides the point, it would be great if we could get an update, Sandy.

Sorry about the lack of update guys, I've been quite busy recently and haven't been in a position to give updates everyday. I'm looking forward to closing this group buy too believe me, it was fine when I get an order every few days or week, but keeping track of everyone's orders and continuously chasing up Audiosources for this group buy is taking up almost all of my free time.

The weekend has gone again and all I've been told is that the initial batch are definitely in production, but they are not ready yet. I've only been able to speak to the sales rep for the most part this week, I will have to get onto the manager tomorrow. My impression is that they have some last minute things they want to check / fix before they release the units.

I am holding a fair bit of money for this group buy but they have been accumulated over time (didn't have $26,600 from day one). And as of a couple of weeks ago the money has been forwarded to Audiosources for the initial batch of the group buy. I am finding myself at the limit of my patience too, and I do apologise that you guys had to wait this long. I will provide you guys with an update as soon as I have more information, though you can probably see why I'm sometimes reluctant to announce Audiosources's promised dates... Unless they've been telling blatant lies this time though, they will at least be shipped next week.

Hey Sandy, do you think that those of us who didn't go for the initial batch will see our units before christmas?

Ha ha ha... you must still believe in Santa too

hmmm.... AS better deliver soon, now that they have 26k in their pockets for these units that have yet to be delivered.... this unit better blow my mind after this long of a wait

So I found out what the delay is about today, apparently they have encountered an issue with CAN-Bus updates. One of the advantages of the DNS unit is that the CAN-Bus is also software update-able, but they discovered an issue where occasionally updating the CAN-Bus can cause a glitch that effectively bricks the unit. They're manually making an adjustment to the CAN-Bus software so that future updates will not have this issue, I'm not clear on the exact process for this but they are proposing sending me half the order and another half in another week. I'll follow up again tomorrow, if that is how we proceed then I will send out units to the longest waiting customers in the first batch first.

So is this ALL the units or just for the first batch?

Once they sort out the production issues it would be faster to fix the rest of the software, even if the software is not completely bug free, I will make a demo video early December so people can decide if they want the unit before Christmas.

The units that should have been shipped out last week is the first batch. As I have just posted, even if I don't consider the unit bug free in about a month's time I will post a demo video and let the remaining people decide. By then I would expect the bugs left, if any, to be only very minor or obscure.
