Default Window Valet

Southern Car Parts is now offering the C5 and C6 Window Valet from Top Down Technologies.



Takes minutes to install, plugs into the OBD port under the steering wheel. No tools required.

$149.99 with free shipping in the US.

Features include.....

1) Remote Control Power Windows Let the windows down as you approach the car. The heat escapes before you get in.No need to get back into the car to let the windows up. Put the top up and walk away. Convertible owners know all too well what this means.Don't leave the windows down just because the car is on a racing trailer. Climb out, raise the windows, secure the car. Tight garages are no longer a problem. It's much easier to get into the car after lowering the windows.

2) Enhanced Accessory Power Modes Have the stock radio power-up when you approach the car. Listen to music as you take the top out, access the trunk, or let the heat escape.You pull the ignition key and open the door. There's no need for the radio to stop; you're still in the car. The music resumes and stays on until you lock or unlock the doors with the remote. If you forget, the Window Valet will shutdown the power for you.The passenger is waiting in the car, but you need the keys to get into the house. No problem. The passenger presses a few keys on the D.I.C. and viola! accessory is now available for the radio and windows.

3) Passenger Door Lock Assist Eliminate passenger frustration when dropping someone off. Have the doors unlock before they pull the handle. Set the hand brake or put the transmission in park and the doors unlock. You pick the configuration or not at all.

4) High Speed Report Record the vehicle high speed as you drive. Display it on the speedometer later with a few button presses on the D.I.C.You can finally find out how fast the Valet Guy drove your car; just be sure to clear the old high speed before handing him the keys.

Ready for immediate shipment at www.southerncarparts.com

Thanks,

Jim

Before I picked up my Corvette, I ordered a Window Valet.

It was my first, easiest, most used, and fun mod to-date!
Highly recommended!


(btw - did they produce one for the 1997 Grand Prix yet?)

Looks like a great product. Do you price-match other CF vendors?

It may be useful on a coupe, but it's a must have for the vert. The best "mod" on mine. What a pain operating the top without it!

Is it honestly a 5 minute install? Just plug it in and then program it using the DIC?

Yep, that is it....No tools or beer needed (unless of course, you are thirsty).

If you get it and think I misrepresented it in any way you can send it back (on my dime) and get a full refund.

See ya,

Jim

Thanks Jim. Order has been placed. I can stop my yoga exercises that allow me to snake my way out of the car when I park in the garage.
