Guys, I just got MORE news from VAIS Tech. Unfortunately, this of the bad variety.

Here's an email I just received from someone at VAIS who is more in the know on the AVIC-100 product.

"Darin,
It will definitely cost more then $399.99, and will be available early
spring, date has been pushed back just recently."

So hmm. Looking for a temporary alternative.

 

Sorry guys, I got additional bad news to heap to the pile. Just got a email response to me inquiring about the fore-mentioned october groupbuy:

David,
Group Buy has been pushed back, so there is nothing going on in
October.

OK, lets just keep waiting. The longer we wait, the more people we will have for a group buy!

 

"David,
We will consider demand, and will post on the clublexus forum if we
decide to do a Group Buy this month.

Possible light at the end of the tunnel, stay tuned like technique said. If we can get enough people to show their interest, vais might start a group buy. So any guys that are sitting on the fence about this, add yourself to the growing list to show vais that there really is a demand for a october group buy!

 

I'll buy when they release a version where you can watch the videos on the iPod on the navi screen.

 

IM IN,,,, 17.5. So will there be any video units available for the 01 navigation in an LS?

 

18.5

pls pm me when the group buy comes back up!

 

Holy crap this is the largest group by on CL ever!

 

Yep, so we got the buyers, now waiting to see if Vais will respond. Kinda Ironic how its the biggest group of potential group buyers on CL yet the seller is so totally unresponsive...

Come on Vais, you got a guaranteed 20 sales right here if you go for it and it will be like free advertising for you as well since you will have 20 more happy customers who will go around spreading good word of mouth about your products.

 

still waiting for my EOS prize....where is it?

 

If this group buy includes their model "SLU", please count me in.
I'll be watching for news. . .
Thanks,
Mel

 

Counts up to 19.5 now, keep them coming guys~!

 

If this happen again, I want to join in too!

 

okok..you convinced me...I'm IN!! 21.5!!
