ok then.. help me (i am helpless)

I would like have it to.

Robby if I must build it what I must do:
-Buy this kit from ebay
-Get someone which can do PCB for me
-then get receiver PCB from original interface
-Get programmed PIC (Can you buy PIC and programm it?)
-put receiver PCB to USB PCB
-pack it into case

Is this ok or something missing?
Do you need receiver(or something) to program PIC or Is all PIC same?
Can we get some source code or. example how to program application? Is posible to get plugin for Centrafuse?
Thanks for your help and time.

Bye, _Dejan_

If you are interested in it, I can provide you the PIC microcontroler with the firmware already programmed inside.

And this is nothing... you should see how I dance συρτάκι (sirtaki) when I'm drunk of Metaxa (but only if it's a seven stars)

That is all.
For the PIC, PM me, I can provide you it with the firmware already inside ready to be placed on the PCB.

You can found here a full working plugin for RoadRunner and its related source code, that can be used as a guideline to write other applications.

Just wondering if the principles you used to get the signals from this unit would also work with a wireless Parking sensor unit.

Such as this

Robbie BMW,

Just having a think and was wondering if from your experience this kit is limited to 5 sensors. I have a 4WD and quite frequently run trips into outback Australia with 2 or more spare tyres, would your reciever be able to read the information from a sixth sensor or perhaps even more, someone with an RV might be interested in having more as they quite frequently run more than 4 tyres on the road. (two steer, twin rear drive on each side, 6 to start then 2x spares of different sizes)

Cheers
