Where are people storing the little control unit for these? I'd be worried about the cable getting tangled in around the pedals.

Mine was placed there too. When i went to change programs today however, i noticed that the cable had worked its way back down to the pedals. Just pulled it back up and made a couple of loops and all's well again.

Interesting you got a reply Simon where my post was conveniently ignored  :whistle:

That is what I thought, they must be very selective in their replies.

It's been ignored because he has no genuine reason to withhold any fee for my returned box what so ever. I do however get money off if I decide to buy another box which clearly I won't be so I'd rather have a full refund if I'm honest.

I nearly returned mine as well, those connectors are a b!tch! I looked at the instructions and videos etc and still had bother. Thats when  posted i nearly battered it with a hammer. Link here is to an additional video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqEtNjj_56U You'll notice you have to put it in at an angle, even that was proving difficult.
On my box that long black locator down the side was buffed off, not by me, possibly by them. It did however not help. So i looked at it again and it wasn't that slide that was catching it was the first part of the rounded connector. I took a knife a notched a  bit off the end and low and behold the connectors went together not a problem.

This may help in the future.

I removed the little grey plastic clip from mine before I fitted it (after a chat with DTUK) it makes fitting & removal so much easier and I still have all the skin on my fingers intact :grin:

Although i didn't post that above i did the same. So it's a bit of a butcher job. This does beggar the question..are the connectors really German or made in the Zeng Shin district in China? and from memory there is a VW stamp on the grey plastic connector but hey ho that wouldn't present a problem to the Chinese!
