Received mine less then 24 hous ago...
Ordered in 7/3 received and installed it on 7/8 ...

Took longer then 5 minutes however..(had to find my reading glasses to find the Damn Pin number... )

Told my one son that I now could keep him honest
as I can program it to let me see how fast he has driven the car...LOL

Have to check what other features I can make this thing do..

Not real hppy that the car sounds off and the light blink when the windows go up or down...Gota read the instructions again and see if I can stop that ...

Bob G.

Bob,

The horn and lights flashing are a product of the car not the Valet. On your DIC you need to turn on silent arm for the alarm system. What is happening is when you are arming or unarming your alarm the horn is beeping once to let you know it is armed. All related to pushing the key fob lock and unlock. Check out the options on your DIC and you will see what I mean. I agree, having the horn beep three times would be a nussance. Give me a call tomorrow if you have trouble figuring it out.

See ya,

Jim

Go to our online store and order the Valet and Partition. I will honor the previously advertised price point ($249.98) and that is all your card will be charged for all orders placed this week. Your order will show $30 bucks more when you place it but you will only be charged the above price. Again, all orders for a Valet and Partition will only be charged 249.98 for this WEEK only.

Thanks all,

Jim

They will ship out tomorrow morning, so very possible seeing as how you are on the east coast. Worst case in Monday.

Thanks,

Jim

The parts came, and were installed, on Friday! Thanks for the quick shipping! The partition is like an Egyption fit and looks great; and the window valet is too cool. Thanks again for the extended combo deal.

A) how does the product work with the stock remote?
B) do you press a certain combination of buttons for the windows to go up/down?
C) or do the windows go down when the car is disarmed/unlocked and go up when the car is armed?

If I may step in and answer this...

Press the Lock button 3 times in a row - windows go up.
Press the Un-lock button 3 times in a row - windows go down.
Button presses need to be under 1 sec. of duration.

I love mine. Got it a few weeks ago. With the triple digit temperatures this month, it comes in handy getting those windows open.

Default plug port

Since this thing goes into the OBDII port, does it need to be removed for diag checks? If it does, does it need to be reprogrammed?

yes, you pull it out anytime you have to plug anything into the port and no it does not need to be re-programmed if removed (as log as it goes back into the same car).

See ya,

Default Window Valet

I live in Phoenix and love the window valet. I open the windows as I approach the car and then the rear hatch for 10 seconds when I get there. This allows the 160 degree air to escape before I get in. It's also easier to put the top on and then close the windows rather than vice versa. I absolutely love it!

The Valet definitely is one of those accessories that you don't know you need and then when you get it you don't know how you lived without it

Received my partition and valet just a couple of days after ordering it. Partition fits great and the valet works like a charm. Thanks Jim
