Priority start is a good addition if you've had DBS but I will not put one on my 05. I've had it 28 months and 15,000 miles with no DBS. I see no reason to install one.

Can't hurt though. It's the only device on the market that makes DBS physically impossible. Great peace of mind knowing that no matter what you do including leaving accessories on, detectors plugged in, radios blaring, etc. there's no way you can ever get a dead battery from the excessive drain.

Thanks to all who replied, it has been very helpful.

We have 3 vettes; an 85 C4 ( 9 years), a 02 C5( 2 1/2 years), and this 05 C6 (9 months). The 85 was first and is a good car, the 02 C5 continues to exceed expectations, and this 05 C6 continues to fall short.
