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

Also works on the C6 Z06




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.....

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.

2) The window venting feature allows you to use the remote to leave the windows down about half-an-inch for airflow on hot days. To use this feature, simply issue the remote window up command when both windows are already in the fully up position. The Window Valet for C6 will recognize that the windows are already up and assume that you want to vent the windows. This feature, just like the remote window control, does not require any additional configuration.

3) The "subtle alarm" mode will cause the horn to toot three times whenever someone pulls on an outside door handle while the car is locked. If a valid FOB is detected and the door unlocks because the C6's passive mode is enabled, the horn will not sound. It's a you're busted message to kids trolling for unlocked cars.

3)"Unlock on brake" will unlock the doors whenever the hand brake is set. It will re-lock the doors whenever the brake is released. This feature is only available when the engine is running. It's convenient when dropping off a passenger.

4) The "high speed/tach report" will show the highest speed and the highest RPM recorded by the Window Valet for C6 since it was last cleared. These values are shown directly on the speedometer and tachometer's analog needles. Only mph on a 200mph style gauge is available. To recall the values, press and hold RESET on the Instrument Panel Cluster while tapping unlock six (6) times on the driver's door panel. Speeds up to 100mph will be shown. To show the remainder over 100mph, press the GAUGES button. Press RESET again to exit, or press FUEL to clear the high values and exit.
Ready for immediate shipment at www.southerncarparts.com

Thanks,

Jim

Default A hint for C6 owners

If you unhook your battery for any reason, you have to re-index your windows (put them all the way up, hold the button for three seconds, then release, and hold the button up again for three seconds).

If you don't re-index, your Window Valet won't work! I thought mine was busted until I re-indexed the windows.

I will order one tonight when i get back to the house. Sounds like a cool item. Do you need to unplug this item before you take it to the dealer for service work?

You can if you want takes all of 10 seconds from the drivers seat. This is the cream of the crop for effectiviness vs effort.

just so I understand right, does this allow me to both lower/vent the windows, as well as raise the window with the car off? I've had alarms for years with window valets, and really love the feature of being able to control windows remotely for cooling purposes. Does it have a feature to auto-raise the window when you lock the car if the windows are down?

Yes, it allows you (via the key FOB) to raise and lower the windows with the car off and keys away from the car. As far as auto raise, no not automatically. You have to press the lock button on the key fob 3 times to raise them up.

Hope this helps....
