Gauging interest in Plug n Play option for BRZ Boomerang to turn ON with DRLs....

[Ric0]

So stage1 would be boomerang on at all time brighter then stock and DRL light on while headlights are on?

Is the a module to just make the DRL on all the time even when headlights are on? (Boomerang could be off like stock)

how are we looking as far as time @Diode Dynamics

are we still on track for Black Friday special

[BRZ?]

VERY interested in stage 1 lithium!

Can we get an upate on progress?

Got a BRZ in our garage, doing final testing and install guide tomorrow!

Awww yissss

[Diode Dynamics]

Testing is complete. All three options have been integrated into one product, user selectable. No cutting or splicing. Install takes 5 mins, just pop your hood, no need to access bumper or wheel well, even.

Now we are only about a week or two out for the shipment of connectors and components to arrive, and we will start shipping them! When I have a confirmed date I'll post up the video and offer them for sale. I just don't want to take any money until I know when we will be shipping.

Thanks for your patience everyone!

Awesome, are you guys using the list from the beginning of this thread or is it going to become first come first serve? (I didn't get added to the list because it was right before you guys took this project over)

This sounds great. I like the options since I wasn't entirely sure which one I wanted. What's the final price going to be or rough cost at least?

Would like to know this as well.
If not using this list, feel free to add me to the new list (if there's going to be one)

Oh thank the diode dynamics based god, I was worried I had to splice something or even access the bumper / wheel well. Please, reasonably take my money

Hat's off to you guys though, I'm sure this product will spread around like wildfire in the BRZ community as more people have it installed and bring their cars to meets.

We are targeting a price point of $60 per unit, but we are still waiting on some component quotes to come in. Hopefully we can get it down a bit. Again, that includes all 3 options.

Function:
1. Boomerang is always on with DRL.
2. There is a "DRL with Headlight" switch so you can have DRL off with headlights (stock), or on with headlights.
3. If you have the "DRL with Headlight" switch turned on, there is a dial so you can adjust the brightness of the DRL when they're on with your headlights. For "OEM style" function, you can turn down the dial so they dim when your headlights turn on. This only adjusts brightness of them when the headlights are on. The DRLs are still always full power when headlights are off (stock DRL function).

We can make a switch for the boomerang function too if you guys want. Does anyone think there would be a desire for DRL Always-On functionality ONLY? (Boomerang would not turn on with DRLs). Maybe we should just add it for the heck of it. As usual, main cost here is OEM connectors, not the tiny switches.

We will be messaging everyone in the initial list, posting here, and making a new thread. We will be producing 1000 units in the initial run, so there won't be any availability issue (aside from waiting for us to actually make them).

Thanks guys!

I don't think I got added to the initial list but I'm definitely interested in this.
