Thank You very very much

Any additional information and guidance will be sincerely appreciated.

Hi Mike,

We will have the F1 style transponders available for purchase when the new system is released. The new core system will be backwards compatible with existing transponders.

i'm just as curtious to see if there are any changes to the new transponders as the dnano tags look much different. not only that, i'm affraid there will eb a heft price increase for that pretty looking tag we all know these tags are dirt cheap in stock form.
The new transponders are very small and custom made for the car. Kyoho really doesn't add any markup to the car for this feature. It's a value added feature that keeps their cars unique and a step above anyone else's. Essentially, you are getting lap counting ability at their cost for each car.

The new core systems will read both old and new transponders fine. But, the old core systems won't be able to read the new transponders because of hardware limitations (nothing artificially imposed by us, just a hw limitation of the older design).

i would like to update this frequently, please submit any quoted questions/replies to me

So, the new small F-1 transponders will or won't work with the older system
