6 - 1.47k
7 - 1.87k

11 - 4.75k
12 - 6.04k
13 - 7.50k
14 - 9.53k
15 - 11.80k

Just put the ohm meter across the pellet on your key. When reading it make sure you put the decimal in the right place. Your resistance reading might not be exact, but it should be close (if you get 5K ohms it's probably a #11).

As far as delivery is concerned it really all depends, pre-ordering will start soon, so if we get hit with 250-350 pre-orders (what we expect) that will push back the regular orders until we catch up with the pre-orders. Thats the main reason we decided to conduct a pre-order program, its almost like ensuring your spot in line, for those who don't want to wait as long.

I'm sorry this doesn't directly answer your question but, I can't give any "real" time frames because even we don't know how many exact orders we'll receive. I can gurantee two things, one is that it won't be just a few days, second that it won't be longer than 2 weeks. But rest assured that when you order you will be given an email confirming the order along with an "expected delivery date". That' all I can say right now.

The price for the "empty units" will be the same for all three. If you need actual remote boards as well, there are 3 different prices.

I just bought a new fob from the dealer! Wish I'd seen this first...

Anyway, I'm in for an "empty" one.
