I just got off the phone with my contact at Magitek, Steve Lautzenhiser 800-347-9928 He is anxious to help your provider resolve those issues. Please call Steve this very morning. When using parts from a new Ford and adding them to a new Chevy, communication problem can and will occur. There is a separate science between the development of each brand of car. Finding or designing the right translator to allow both to communicate as one is an artform. John, please call Steve this morning. Best Wishes In a message dated 2/4/2010 6:58:35 P.M.

I am presently using a 14 year old Invacare Storm, but I have a new chair that's been sitting in my living room for about a year now. It's almost ready to go, but Permobile is still having difficulty making it work with the Magitek. It has been an exceptionally frustrating experience to say the least. Yesterday I thought we had most of the bugs ironed out, but I was aware that my ability to tilt back for pressure relief was severely compromised because the software thinks I am barely moving the joystick when in fact my head is completely cocked to the left or right. The real problem started after everyone had left my house and I was giving the chair a try for the entire day. For some reason the computer locked up and I was unable to do anything but call my neighbor so he could reboot the system. Later I discovered that in the wheelchair has a sleep mode which I am unable to deactivate at this time. It's very disturbing, because he goes into the sleep position when I don't touch any of the controls for about 30 minutes. Does anyone else have a chair that goes into the sleep mode? I am completely paralyzed from the neck down and rely on the buttons on the head rest to change modes and of course the magitek to operate the system. I'll probably have to go to wheelchair junkie to get some advice. I may try calling the vendor once again, but it took about two months for them to come out this time.
