Almost got it today! Was sent late Friday and DHL tried to deliver today while I was at work . Must be some kind of record... From Cyprys Friday afternoon, via England and Germany, and out on a delivery truck Monday 8.45 Swedish time. Will pick it up at the local DHL depot tomorrow.
Anyone knows if there are already updates available?

Hi....
First post from me owner of D3 for 7 days after selling an event G4 D110
Its kinda aimed at BBS as the reply should benefit all.
I almost clicked and bought the MSV Extreme server with Multi Vehicle. However this forum stopped me in its tracks with mention of the Nanocom can bus update.
So I placed my order last Sunday and was wondering what the time scale for delivery would now be. I had expected delivery tail end of last week as I got excited payment had been processed. However have learnt via this forum there has been a small delay. I don't mind waiting as in my mind I've just saved £1000ish.
Many thanks in advance

I'm waiting on news on possibly a small bonus from work, will hear next week or the week after I hope....If this is the case, then I think it would be wise to get one of these IMO
I also want a set of rear D4 lights, but I think Nanocom should be the priority....Couple of questions though....
- With standard UK delivery what is the total discounted cost inc VAT I'm looking at?
- Will I get the discounted price as long as I order at anytime in December, correct?
Cheers

I've read all the posts and am about to pull the trigger. But, just a couple of questions.
I assume that the software available from the Genesis system is the software upgrades from Land Rover that you hear people talking about when they say they had their auto software upgraded, or such.
I'll probably be buying D3 and RRS unlock codes and possibly a TDV8 map upgrade as well.
Speaking of map upgrades, can the Nanocom tell me if my vehicle already has a map upgrade?

Hiya all
Well today certainly has been one of the busiest and hardest days ever here at Blackbox Solutions.
We were utterly determined that we would start to ship systems today, and with no small thanks to Chris, who has stood up to mega pressure levels today, yet worked with me as a team to overcome all else, we finally managed to start supplying programmed units to the Admin Angels very late this afternoon.
Despite their being left with very little time, the Angels swung into action and in record time, quickly produced quite a large pile of consignments ready to be picked up.

Note: Chris, on the left apologizes for not having shaved, but in fairness he has actually been up till the early hours most nights this week, spending much of his own time working with and supporting the Beta testers.
Unfortunately we had already missed the daily pick up by over an hour, but we arranged a special pick up

So systems are indeed now on their way and will almost certainly be with almost all of you who order via DHL before the weekend.
We will also be adding the software upgrade in the owners area of the Nanocom website in an hour or two so those that are currently recieving their systems can update them.
Although we have now finally reached this stage, and despite it certainly being a significant step for BBS and all Land Rover owners wanting good and capable equipment for reasonable money, for BBS this is simply the start of things to come for this exciting development.
Despite ourselves and our Beta testers having done their best to test this, It is unrealistic to believe or imagine that there will not be some odd bugs yet to be found that will need sorting, some tweaking to be done, and of course lots of additional functions and capability to yet be added.
Tomorrow work begins on the first software upgrade for this and because the cycle is very short on the Nanocom, there may even be a couple of software upgrades released before Christmas.
I, along with Chris can only thank you all for your duly noted and much appreciated patience with us over the last week as we have really struggled against seemingly endless problems to provide you all with this really revolutionally new super simple to use and ultra low cost system in time for Christmas.
Warmest regards to all
Colin & Chris

Good to see if finally being shipped, I was testing it and emailing Chris last night till 10:30pm , UK time so Chris must have had a late night after we finished..
Tested for three hours this morning, had a couple of minor bugs but now looking good to go, nothing we could not handle..
I am liking it the more I use it and Genesis is a great tool to give you more information on your car and the software for it.. I would give it 8 out of 10 usability even though we do not have the full capability of it yet...
