I have one in my coupe. I use it all the time in the summer to vent the heat before I get to the car. It's also useful occasionally to lower or raise the windows from outside the car for ease of entry or exit. I'd guess I've had mine for 15K miles or so. So far no problems.

It has other features but I've never used them. I bought it for the windows. I wish my other cars had them.

I got mine from topdown technologies but there are CF vendors who sell them.

Great product no problem even when stacked with other OBD modules like the Dashtronix. My only wish is that these guys would add a feature that would enable auto window up from the inside switches.

I'm leery of that same situation. I actually zero mine out in the rare instance I leave my Vette at the dealer. I can then recall both max rpm and max speed. That combined with the odometer can tell an interesting story if you suspect your Vette has been abused. No problems yet.

To the OP, works as advertised, no issues whatsoever.

It was one of the first mods I did when I bought my 2012 coupe last March. I love it because when I put the targa back on, I always do it from the passengers side with both windows all the way down. I get in the passengers seat and re-latch everything, get out, shut the door, hit the fob and let the valet do the rest. This just makes it quicker for me and keeps me from going back around to the driver's side. Same holds true in reverse when I want to remove the top quickly on a nice day.

I would definitely recommend this mod.

Looks like 70 degrees and sunny here in Austin on Sunday so I will definitely be using this device as I cruise around.

Big demand for used Valets... very easy to sell separately if you ever get rid of your C6.

But if you're looking for a used one, good luck...
