[Euro] Hondata Update

Well that's the thing with manufacturing overseas. The variable lies with the manufacturer and also their quality control.

Funny bunny Zdster, is that your girlfriend?

Not sure why manufacturing would hold up the reflashes???

I am glad you were finally able to fix your grammar as your other post made no sense . . . but whatever.

I wouldnt imagine that they would start doing reflashes until stock came in . As yfin said I would be looking at least into 2008 for delivery.

They dont need stock/parts for the reflash. Thats the point im making. They can clear a percentage of their customers off their backlog immediately.

I guess he wants to release it all at the same time

They dont take the Credit Card details. I ordered , ticked the CCard box and that its ( no numbers are asked for). You wait till you get the invoice then pay via CCard. But at this stage no invoices have been sent.

I do take your point though. Your sentiment is accurate.

hmmm... you order now to get the cheaper price, but you dont need to pay.... what if you still dont pay when they invoice you cause the product is still not available yet and only when its available you pay.

Can you change your mind later and dont pay??? as you havent got anything yet other then the invoice (if there is one)

Nah, I get you, but as Pumped said:

Now while we don't have the full picture, it still seems IMHO they some problems with dealing with customers i.e. it appears as though

1) They won't supply any reflashes yet (labour only we would assume)
2) They don't have any stock of parts
3) 2006 and later reflashes aren't "available" either

Now how does this help Jtune if no money is coming in ? Beats me ...
Moreover only serves to piss off people who have been waiting for how long now ?

If you read the news page on the JTune website you will find the 2006 to 2008 automatic flash has been completed some time ago, I’m sure the manual is not far behind.

I can’t see what the issue is here I’ve placed a JTune mild flash order for my girlfriend Euro, we have placed the order, iv saved money, and I don’t have to pay until I’m invoiced, the money is better in my pocket for longer than anyone else.

It also states very clearly on the JTune website that all orders will ship 6 to 10 weeks from the closure of the pre order, considering the pre order only closed 2 weeks ago or so I’m still expecting an 8 week or so wait. I’ve saved money by placing a pre order, and its cost me nothing other than to wait like everyone else, it’s a win win situation for me.

[Suntzu]

If not getting a product you want for 10 weeks constitutes a "win win" for you then you need to raise your expectations a little.

I agree they have not taken my money and i am happy to wait. Be nice to have some up to date info each week on whats going on though.

I can’t see what the issue is here

The issue is pretty simple. The products release date has been pushed off many times. There doesnt appear to be any non-test cars that have run the system/provided any feedback. Getting the physical 'products' from asia in 8 weeks seems dubious (think about production time, internal shipping overseas, shipping from overseas to Australia, customs, quality control, internal shipping within Australia).

It is not so much about the money and the fact that it hasnt been withdrawn from your account but more so about the above issues.
