Kpierson, I'm definitely interested and I think you'll find many more people on this and other forums who would love to purchase one as well. This one is pretty active with a decent amount of convertible owners Main: G35 Forum / G37 Forum - NICOclub
These convertibles are relatively new, but once sales of them get going you'll have a good size market. Please keep us up to date on your progress and I'll try to get more people for a group buy.

I got a couple people somewhat interested in the Z world.
Here is what the proposed module would look like:
It would be based around a 1mhz processor, it would come with a detachable genuine Molex wiring harness and be enclosed in a durable plastic enclosure. The enclsure would obviously house all the logic and circuity needed to make this work. All and all, there would be 5-6 total circuits to get the job done!

Just finished the paperwork on my new Convertible - Premium Pack with Nav for just under invoice and an incredible lease rate. Picking it up today (since they had to get it from another dealer). Can't wait to install this feature if we can somehow get the group buy going. Like I said before, the other forums have plenty of members who i think would be interested as well.
We just finished a very large project and this is next up - we look to begin testing in the very near future.
The first revision will simply be a one touch module. Maybe down the road we'll look to add other features.

Voice Recognition with the top down
Hi Kevin,
I have another challenge for you. On G 37 vert the voice recognition doesn’t work when the top is down. Before buying G37 I tried BMW 335 and Lexus IS350. On both of them VR system works with the top down. Since you’re familiar already with G37 Service Manual can you do something to make it work with the top down?
Thank you very much.

I think this would be a great little mod!
I think it would be very doable to open the top from the keyfob (like press "LOCK" then "UNLOCK" and have it lower the windows and then the top.
If we make a "one touch" roof controller you will be able to stop the movement at any time by pressing the opposite button - it won't be a "once it is tripped it runs until it times out" setup - it will be intelligent and very similar to how the OEM would work if they made it.
The keyfob module would be around $59.99 and would include the ability to close the windows from the keyfob (not sure about the top, if you hold the key in the "LOCK" position for an extended time will it close the top?)
The one touch roof controller would be around $49.99. If there is interest we could do a group buy to lower the costs.
I would also like to find a vert near Dayton, Ohio to test these products out on!

for 50-60$ i would DEFINATELY but that mod.... but if it were more, probably not.
I'm finally installing one of these tomorrow! I'll hopefully post some pictures and possibly even a video after the installation. Once I have it tested in a vehicle we'll get a handful of field testers and then release the product!
