I also use the unlock doors when shift to P. Also once in awhile I check the top speed.

I have the instructions, thanks. Just looking for how others have configured theirs.

We have a 6spd.

Anyone know if configured for "door unlock with hand brake up" will the door unlock at speed if you pull the hand brake?

I'm hoping the auto door lock at > 12mph will overide the hand brake signal.

Put our in and programed it today.

The doors will in fact unlock at speed if you pull up the hand brake.

Oh well.

But thinking positively, if you pull the handbrake up at speed you'll stop quite quickly

Not trying to hijack this thread but do you guys really use the window valet? I'm trying to decide whether or not to buy.

Absolutely! This is one of those things you buy for the car when you get itchy to buy something (anything!) and have $150 that you don't need. Actually I use it quite a lot (I'm a Vert) and think you would think well of the addition. Southerncarparts has a special going on I believe.

I think it is great to be able to put the windows up or down without being inside the car.

Absolutely!! I think it's a "must have" for verts when putting the top up or down. It is also comes in handy for entering and exiting in tight spaces. Keeping the radio on when the ignition is turned off is also a plus.

I love it since I ride with the windows down most of the time, all I have to do is push the unlock button three times, and the windows are down and when I get out I dont have to wait a few minutes rolling the windows up, just get out and push the lock button three times and the windows go up, not to mention the top speed indictator, love that feature. I bought on ebay for like $90 with shipping, cant beat that!
