FGS kit (FGSSwitch) install instructions needed

[e500.org]

Hello all. I have what appears to be a complete FGS kit from Bergwerks. Could anyone confirm by looking at these photos and does anyone have installation instructions? Many thanks

That is not a Bergwerks unit, it is a FGS Switch. Had one in my 500E, works well, although you need to connect it to a computer for programming. Yours appears to be a newer model than mine. Mine had a serial port for the interface, you have a USB.

Thanks, much appreciated, I had thought Bergwerks made these kits. Instructions are very useful I’ll take a look today.

Bergwerks produced a completely different FGS module that uses the Hall speed sensor wire (green/yellow), no need to cut & splice coaxial cables. BW also offered some optional extra functionality, like auto door lock above X mph, and selectable 1-2 upshifts to allow normal & "Sport" modes. I've never owned the FGSswitch version and don't know if that has similar capabilities.

I have the same set up on my C126!

No, there have been two different FGS products over the years -- first BergWerks, which went out of production around 2004 or so, and later on FGSSwitch, which was done by another company overseas and also went out of production some years ago.

Completely different in concept and execution.

The instructions for the BergWerks FGS are posted here as a PDF.

Perhaps someone here who has used an FGSSwitch has the instructions for that product and can post them.

Cheers,

Late to the party, but for future needs and wants I do have the driver/software for programming the FGSswitch as well as documentation. Just PM me!

I also have a complete FGSswitch if someone needs one.
