Tige TouchPad Upgrade Project Thread

[Bryan]

The forum needs a store page for these type of items that will be available on a continuing basis.. Not that admin needs more hassle to keep up with, but a place you can put info on ordering these pieces and for people like Dan C and his custom hats, would be way more convenient than always trying to find these posts..

I have tried to reach out to Admin several times now and have never gotten a response. Whether it's their busy, they aren't interested in doing that, I am not sure but there is something in it for Tige and the owners not sure why they would not want to do that.

Replied via email to your PM. Please reply soon, as we are down to exactly ONE remaining panel and received two inquiries yesterday. Yours was first by 34 minutes so you get first shot!

touch pad

I am the proud original owner of a 2008 22ve and have followed your long ordeal with creating a new touch pad. Of course mine has worked fine until this weekend and had total failure after a surprise storm overnight with boat not covered. I just read that you only have 1 left!!! Aargh! Please put me on the list if more are to be produced. Thanks for all your hard work.

[IDBoating]

The remaining panel is spoken for, just waiting for payment. We are scheduling another production run for 6-8 weeks from now. We can put your name on the list if your panel is truly dead.

However, let's try to save you some money first. A rainstorm shouldn't take out one of the OEM panels. What are the symptoms? Do any of the buttons work? Does the panel's backlight come on when you turn on the nav lights (i.e. light up the dash)? Let's see if we can get yours to work again.

EDIT: A buyer just cancelled, so there is one panel left. I've sent you the order form via email. But let's try to get your existing panel working again if possible.

I have a 2008 RZ4 with speedset panel inop. I would like to get on the list.

Thanks for getting back to me. The main issue is that the LCD screen will light up and go to the first screen but is non-responsive to any buttons pushed. Also, the cruise will activate but again not responsive to any buttons. The next day I sprayed an dielectric silicon and allowed to dry for 2-3 hours before reconnecting and starting. Every thing then worked ( rotating through LCD displays and cruise) but stopped working again when boat shut down and then restarted. Subsequent spraying and reconnecting just results in starting LCD display and no button response. All dash lights are functional with nav/anchor light switch.

WOW! RESPECT IDBoating!!! If only more companies would take this approach!

When you sprayed, where did you spray? On the connector from the OEM panel to the boat's wiring harness? On the snapdomes under the rubber elastomer?

By dash lights, does that include the backlight on the touchpad? That's what I was asking about... when you turn on the navlights (i.e. light up the dash), the touchpad should have white backlighting. This will tell us if certain connections are working from the boat harness to the panel.

At this point it appears the last panel has been spoken for. However, we are scheduling another production run for 6-8 weeks from now (earlier than we had intended) and will add your name to that list to notify you when those panels become available. Thanks!

[famvet]

I sprayed the connectors from the OEM panel and also boat's connector. As far as the touchpad lights, I did not check at night and if I remember correctly I don't know if the backlighting ever worked...I have a great memory, it's just short.
