Sounds interesting, but what does this system do that my clutch switch and regenerative brake button working in conjunction with each other don't already accomplish (for way cheaper)?

Right now, with the clutch switch in the "on" position, on acceleration I get full assist, and on deceleration I hit the brake regen button on the shifter (ilo hitting the brake pedal) and this gives me braking power through the assist motor, along with full charging of the IMA battery the whole time my finger is on the button, and it also turns on the brake lights.

With the clutch switch in the "off" position, I get no assist whatsoever (including forced regens), and I'm able to kill the injectors and EOC to stops without the car trying to re-start itself.

If I'm missing the boat I want to get on it, but the MIMA characteristics sound a lot like what I already have installed, which you can make yourself for a couple of bucks each.

Anybody have one of these, and swear by it? Cause I'm interested if it does something awesome that I'm not understanding.
