CVT Insight owners,
As you many of you know, if you are stuck in traffic or the drive-thru, you can not get another AutoStop from an unmodified CVT Insight until you travel at least 8 MPH or more then you will go into AutoStop the next time you come to a stop. However, in stop and go traffic and the drive-thru, you normally can't get back up to the 8MPH set point before you have to stop again so you end up wasting gas the next time you come to a stop.
I created what is called the Low Speed Auto Stop (LSAS) controller that will fool the computer into thinking that have exceeded the 8 MPH set point only for a split second (even if you only really have been going 3MPH) and when you press your foot on the brake again and come to a stop, the CVT Insight will automatically go into another AutoStop. This cycle continues without the need to press any buttons....It is all automatic so you don't have to think about it.
I posted a lot of information about the LSAS when it was first being constructed here:
Automatic Low Speed Auto Stop
I have sold some of these to forum users in the past and I have been recently asked how much does it cost to build some more. The original price was $250 because I spent tons of time manually creating solder traces on a very small PCB and it took several days to complete. Within the past month or so, I have discovered how to use presensitized PCBs and now I am able to create a circuit board with etched traces in much less time. What used to take about 4 days can be now done in about one long day once I have all of the parts.
I can now offer these LSAS controllers pre-built and tested for $85 plus shipping to CVT Insight forum members (I'm not ignoring MT onwers but you guys already have a method to do the same thing and purchasing my controller would be redundant). For anyone interested in purchasing one of these controllers, please send me a Private Message. Installation instructions are included with the controller.
This PCB has been proven to work on gen 1 CVT Insights for a couple of years now. I believe I have discovered a way to install this controller on the gen 2 Insight as well.
I will offer this controller at half price to the first Gen 2 Insight owner wants to install this controller and;
1) has access to the electrical service manual (so I can determine the proper wire connections to update the install documentation)
2) has a scan gauge to verify MPH setting to the ECM.
Please send me a PM if you are insterested. If you live in the New England area, even better since I could travel and help with the install.
Since this is a Buy / Sell section of the forum, I would appreciate it if we limit the responses, questions or comments to the subject of the LSAS controller for sale and not about Forced Auto Stop (FAS) and MT Insights.
