For immediate release: ARC is proud to announce the NEW 2nd Generation 8000 Series switch panel. The 8000 Series has been around for nearly 20 years, so we thought it might be time to refresh it. The 8000 still has all the features it always had, but now it ships with the new color overlay. In case you haven't heard, all Flat Touch units ship with the new 3rd Generation Cable, which is also available separately for an older unit. It is 100% backwards compatible with all Flat Touch Systems, including the 6001Z Series. As of today, Oct 13, all 8000R, 8000D, 8000R-ECU, and 8000D-ECU and 8000D-ECUwill ship with the new overlay. You can order this directly from AutoRod.net or through any of the Mail Order warehouses. We do not know what their inventory is, so if you order one from them, it may come to you as the 1st Gen until they sell out. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach us at 864-777-0177. #WiringSolutions #TeamARC #ARCWiring #MadeInUSA
