Help! 
My Windows Valet quit working after my car died and I replaced the battery.
Nothing happens (moving the windows) when I click the up and down procedure.
I tried calling Top Down Tech and I just get a machine and I can find nothing on their short webpage (about the Windows Valet) to help me here.
I tried removing it and reinstalling it. I tried holding down RESET (on the DIC) and pressing unlock on my door and I don't see the Tach move. Don't know if I'm doing something wrong or what. It's about 6 month's old.
EDIT: The subtle alarm feature still works (horn honks 3 times if no fob detected when grabbing door handle).
ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!

My windows valet is almost 10 years old and still works perfectly. Had it on my 2005 C6 and is currently in my 2013 GS.

C6 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.

Do the windows close automatically when I walk away with the Fob, or for the windows to close do I have to press the lock buttons as I "Put the top up and walk away"?

Unless the product was changed/updated since I got mine, the windows will not automatically roll up as you walk away. Here is how mine works.
Hit unlock x3 = windows roll down
Hit lock x3 = windows roll up (car honks)
Hit unlock x2 + lock once = windows roll up (no honk)
Hit lock x3 while windows are already up = windows vent (rolls down about half an inch)
Hit unlock x3 = windows roll down

Hit unlock x2 + lock once = windows roll up (no honk)

That's what the're supposed to do. And it's great when working. Would be GREAT to talk to the manufacturer who won't answer or return calls.
I loved mine when it was working, I just need help (left hanging).

Valet not working
My valet quite working due to the windows not rolling up all of the way. Probably a battery reset by the dealer. Fix it to crank the car, shut the door, roll both windows all of the way up and hold for 3 secs.

Just had this issue. Window was not set up all of the way. Crank, shut the doors, roll the windows up all of the way and hold for 3 secs.
Good luck!

Worth its weight in gold and was by far the easiest mod ever.
Posted by another user. It also also to monitor the last high speed and tach (Ferris!), but I have yet to use it. Will try it.
Hit unlock x3 = windows roll down
Hit lock x3 = windows roll up (car honks)
Hit unlock x2 + lock once = windows roll up (no honk)
Hit lock x3 while windows are already up = windows vent (rolls down about half an inch)

Either way, I am THRILLED to have my Window Valet working again. Once you have it, it sucks without it.

Valet
Thanks STRIB for your help! So following your advice, I went to my GS to reprogram the windows (as you suggested) and I happened to take my 2nd fob (that I never use). As I was walking up to my car to reset the windows, I pressed the unlock 3x and wa-la... the windows opened and all the other functions worked too. So, I would assume that reprogramming/re-learning the original fob might get that one working again.
Either way, I am THRILLED to have my Window Valet working again. Once you have it, it sucks without it.

Very slick. Can see how this could be useful. Quick question:
Would this work with an "OBDII splitter" plugged into the OBDII port, then this device plugged into one of the splitter ports?
OBDII splitter example in case needed: https://www.amazon.com/Diageng-Low-P...obdii+splitter
I have a Bluetooth device plugged into the OBDII port already for DashCommand app, but would like to be able to use both at different times while both are plugged in to save on having to plug/unplug every time I get in/out of the car...
...or if you guys want to further develop this device to relay info via Bluetooth while the car is running...
