-Upgrade price for v2 to current PROcede users will be $150. This includes the new harness, firmware, etc,. And all the new features such as map switching, boost management, user tunable torque curves, speed sensor input plus a few more that have not been mentioned. We have built nearly 100 harnesses (by hand) in the last 2 weeks so we should be off to a good start and catch up to total demand relatively soon. All v2 upgrades to current customers can be done by the customer at home. Harness install takes 3-5 minutes once the ECU is exposed. Firmware upgrades takes another 30 seconds. Map upload takes another 10 seconds. Done.

-The introduction of an entry level PROcede DARK. Ducati owners will know what I'm talking about

It will cost $895

. It is basically a detuned v1 PROcede. It will make 15-20whp less than the current v1.47 map that everyone is running. But still more than the resistor-based upgrades currently available. Of course, being microcontroller-based, it controls fuel, boost AND timing. It will also offer all the partial throttle driveability and safety benefits typical of the standard PROcede. Along with valet mode. However, the map will be loaded in the firmware, not in software. This means that the user cannot upload/changes maps. Basically, the customer installs it and forgets about it. Nor can the user update to v2 at home. Attempting to do this will render the unit locked/dead. To update to v2 (and the full power/full features it provides), the user will have to unplug the PROcede unit and send it to us. The car will still run, 100% stock-like, on the provided bypass plugs. We will perform the PROcede DARK to PROcede conversion in-house and return the PROcede along with the necessary v2 add-on harness. This upgrades costs $555 ($1450-895) plus shipping.

The v2 upgrade for existing PROcede users and the PROcede DARK can be pre-ordered through the website at Tuesday at 12:00 Noon PST. They will be shipped on a first come, first serve basis. We will limit the fulfillment rate to 30-40 v2 updates per week just to keep on top of support needs. We will start shipping them out on Sept 10th.

Those who want to purchase a v2 equipped PROcede right from the get-go will have to wait a bit. At least until we get somewhat caught up with v2 upgrade orders. As always, our suggestion is to order a standard v1 PROcede and place an order for a v2 update. This will get you a v2 equipped PROcede as quickly as possible. Expect to get the v1 PROcede within a week of order (as supplies last, of course) and the v2 upgrade a few weeks later. We all wish we could have everything right here, on the shelf, ready to go. But the limiting factor is going to be support, not product. Give us a bit of time (as you guys did when we first released the PROcede) to get up to speed and we promise it will be worth the wait

More info to come next week. Have a wonderful and SAFE long weekend!

Cheers,
Shiv

Sounds good. Have a nice weekend as well.

Cheers

As Shiv said, there was higher parts cost and much more labor involved than was anticipated during the beta phase. Consequently, it would seem that the forthcoming v2.0 non upgrade version would wind up being less costly for Vishnu.

yes yes of course of course..

normtrum · 09-01-2007, 02:20 PM

I'm pretty happy with the $150. I think it's pretty reasonable considering what we're getting.

ulises 335i · 09-01-2007, 02:28 PM

so for $150 more the procede users get an additional 40+whp ...... now that's what i calll an upgrade

..............

i want one!

ulises 335i · 09-01-2007, 02:30 PM

i hope jeff from eurobahn gets some pointers from shiv and makes a turbo tuner -v.2

sajakh · 09-01-2007, 02:32 PM

Helloooo?

Dynos, please

Shiv, you promised

zenmaster · 09-01-2007, 02:42 PM

What was the hunch that paid off?

Does the dyno reflect the extra power provided from the new overboost mode? If so, how much of this power is from overboost? Also, in real world driving, what environmental conditions support overboost? In other words, at any time, how likely will it be "on tap"?

bnj · 09-01-2007, 02:50 PM

Why does V2 have more power than V1?

rotaz · 09-01-2007, 02:58 PM

wooohooo...can't wait...

ill pay the 150, but i wouldn't say im happy about it considering the procede was sold with the promise of all future upgrades being free, and i dont believe the harnesses cost 150 to build even with labor

Fubarsky · 09-01-2007, 03:22 PM

I'm sure when that was said they were not anticipating the extent of testing/research etc. involved in doing it right. I can't begrudge people from making a living especially for an f'in kick ass product and gobs more HP, I am so frickin happy to pay 150$. Good job Team Vishnu. Ready for the high noon shoot out.

Was there more work than anticipated? Why?

doesnt matter when you offer "free upgrades" you offset that cost with the units you sell including the new upgrades, not on the units you promised upgrades on, if it was a big corporation something like that would get picked apart

NPDAN · 09-01-2007, 03:38 PM

Now that im done humping my car, what else can I hump while I wait for V.2

my wife wont let me since we just had another kid...

You're spending too much time complaining and not enough time putting in my CDV delete.
