Default Window Commander Install notes / pics

Did my install of C5 Solutions Window Commander a couple of weekends ago, and got my "mods" page up and running. If you are wondering what this mod does... it essentially adds remote control to your power windows. Walk up to the car, click once on unlock and the driver door unlocks. Twice, and the passenger door unlocks. Three times and both windows roll down. Click lock once, both doors lock. Lock twice, and both windows roll up. Now you don't have to get back into the car to roll up the windows after putting on your top (coupe or vert).

Way cool mod, and not too difficult. You just have to be willing to pry apart the interior door panel with a butter knife... :eek: :eek: :D

Anyway, pics / notes on the mods page... see my sig for home page link. Enjoy!

If you have any comments regarding the web site, drop me a line and let me know. And yes, I know the counter on the main page is broken right now... I just moved the site from AOL, and I don't have the counter working on my new host yet.

Dave

Dave, great instructions! Although the printed instructions were good, I wish I had your pics before I installed mine. Outside of the Powerloader II it is the best mod that I have on my vert.

Tom is really a great guy and is always ready to help.

Thanks for you new site. :cheers: :cheers:

Thanks for sharing your install SunsetVette. The site looks great!

Jeff: act fast - this product is going by way of the do-do bird. That is, I'm not making any more due to slow sales and the colder months approaching.

I also installed the "commander"...it was very easy - took about an hour...alot longer for the first door since you dont know exactly what youre doing...the second door was fast though....the product works great and is a great convenience...

Man, can't believe sales are slow... this is an awesome mod. Anybody that has a coupe or vert and takes the top off should get this mod. Anybody that trailers their car needs to get this mod. Anybody... heck, anybody with a C5 needs to get this mod! :cool: :cool: :cool:

It adds a function that should have been on the car to begin with.

How's that, do I get a commission on sales now? :D

Anybody in the D/FW area that wants to do the install, let me know and I'll be willing to help. It's not difficult, but the first door is a bit scary until you see what it looks like inside...
