Possible advanced keys group buy

[jack-p]

I've been looking at getting one of these kits but can't really justify the expense so emailed them to ask if they'll do a group buy.
http://www.advancedkeys.com/Prod_AK104B.html
The discount they're offering is 30% off (MSRP $350 to $245) for 10+ units for the group buy. By my calculations this works out at about £155 which seems like a resonable saving.
I believe they're also willing to discount their other system by the same 30% which brings it to $154 (£97)
I'm yet to get a definate answer on the cost of shipping but I'd imagine the cheapest method would be to have them posted to one address and send them out individually once in the UK.
Something that i'm not familiar with is customs charges, will this be subject to any and what sort of cost are we looking at?

This is just gauging interest at the moment, if you interested express that interest and we'll see if we can get to 10+

That looks uber cool!

Just when I thought I was cool with my custom flip blade key!

I can't seem to see if your alarm can be programmed in to it? As in, no point having a credit card style key only to carry an alarm fob around too. (currently what I do as mine won't fit in the flip case!)

That's awesome. Most definitely on my 'want' list.

Quite useful to get a ball park.

I could be interested in this idea. Depends on how much hassle the install and how easy it would be to transfer on to an new MR2. Oh and of course my original problem of making the alarm work within the credit card bit.

I havent checked but I'm pretty sure you'll still need your fob for the alarm, they have a forum on their website... could be worth asking on their just to make sure though.

Only problem I see is that now the ignition lock comes into the mot test you will still have to have an ignition key.

I wasn't aware of this, what are the new regulations?

Isnt that just for the new cars?

Anyway, Im wondering how easy it is to install this system? I have seen Oteck build in a similair system and it wasnt that easy..... (mr2.com)

I've got this on my car, it's not terrible to install, but requires a fair amount of electrical knowledge.

It's very handy being keyless, although I still need to carry my clifford fob around with me.....

Regarding the steering lock, i'm working on an electronic version that'll be operated via the central locking (lock\unlock), or the immobiliser arm\disarm
