TGC FAM im still alive and still very much in love with my 8G.
I have been busy expanding my electronics skill set. to be able
fund this expensive ass hobby. The Black
Mamba will drive again. i decided to pull the plug until i could
restore her without cutting corners on anything. i thought i told
you guys about the 84 caprice coupe i picked up and have been
throwing my dollars @ lately SMH hella long story and not enough
jack daiel's to tell y'all

He's alive!!! Glad you posted up. Take your time, do it right the first time. Sounds like you're on top of it, come around every so often and say 'hey!'

Always wondered if you ever finished it, can't wait!

**[DC_eightG_00]** · 01-11-2013, 06:16 AM

Yes!

Can't wait to see progress again! You don't get what you really want if you cut corners, might as well do it right!

On page 10 and subscribed. Pic heavy and getting great ideas for my next move.
I see by this last page your getting back on. Glad you still haven't given up on the black on black.

I know kung fu

The task of reverse engineering all of those little cpu things under the seat is over. I can use A PLC (programmable logic controller) to control the seats motion, heating, cooling and massage functions of the seats.

I want to see more!!!
What is going on with the G?

**ricky_db** · 06-06-2013, 11:51 PM

**99galantES** · 06-07-2013, 07:48 AM

**ricky_db** · 06-07-2013, 11:12 AM

**99galantES** · 06-07-2013, 11:30 AM

That's good at least she's still alive

**keith6110** · 06-07-2013, 12:43 PM

What's that nifty little device that you've got in your hand??? lol

**gallant** · 06-08-2013, 05:03 AM

Im going to take a guess that is for the heating element of the seats

**wetamup2k3g** · 06-08-2013, 07:51 AM

745i seat controls, both motors and seat heaters, looks like massagers too, and the round thing IIRC is lumbar support control, or the mirror, which I doubt. I think those seats are something like 16-way adjustable, including power headrest and thigh support. Gonna be nasty!

Its gonna be sex sitting in those seats. You'll never want to get up!

a year ago i would have said the same thing about the wiring but now know a few new tricks on motor control and whutnot, i just need a bigger controller because like you stated these bad boys have 10 motor functions and the fan circuitry; per seat. i still want the massagers buti dont know how much the cooling system takes up inside of the seat.
