Default Beta testers needed for AutoComp

PLEASE NOTE: Wow, I received plenty of requests and have all beta tester slots filled. Thanks much for the quick response.

A new product (due to be released for sale mid September) is in need of 4 to 5 beta-testers.
"AutoComp" is an add-on module that autoselects the Competitive Driving mode, or (depending on the year of the C5) will deactivate Traction Control. It does not attempt to alter Active Handling settings.
Although it will perform on any C5 with Traction Control, its most advantageous on models that require the annoying 5 second TC/AH button hold to enter the Competitive Driving mode.
AutoComp is unique in that it has an optional user-selectable security feature (whose specifics cannot be divulged at this time) limiting who gains control of automatic Competitive Mode selection and who does not.


Final product testing is in need of beta-testers with varying years C5 Corvettes. Beta testers will get 21 days free use of the AutoComp; then can either return it, or keep the module and pay half of the suggested retail price (expected to retail for around $90).

If you are interested is becoming a beta-tester, send an email to the address at the end of this post.
Important; include the year C5 you own; and the U.S. state you reside in.
You will receive an E-Questionnaire and beta-testers will be chosen based on the receipt of the completed questionnaire and its answers.

As soon as enough beta testers are aquired, I will delete this post.

Thanks!

Tim

Mike, aren't you a little late on this ? I have trouble believing that there is enough market out there to support 2 very similar products.
I have the LapTrax and it works great and I'm sure your product will do the same,(work great).

I would find a solution that has not been addressed like making a chime/light for those of us who forget to latch the removable roof section.

Ditto to what Steve-O said. No knock of your product, but the LapTrax unit is due to ship in 2 days, and the beta that I am using has great flexibility and works fine.
