Nice product. Next time I need to remove my center console, I'll have to get me one of these.

:thumbs: Thank you, no need to remove the console, this sits right on top of the existing console base, install takes less than 10 seconds :D :cheers:

So you apply it over the existing OEM console felt? Any test numbers or results that show the average temperature drop? I can melt a candy bar in my current console with a 10 minute drive.

That is correct. I do not have any numbers for the C5 insulator yet however we expect the results to be the same as our C6 insulator which in real world tests have shown a reduction in the inside temperature of the console of 20-25 degrees for an improvement of 15-20% :cheers:

You can view comments on the C6 side here: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-c...insulator.html and http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-p...insulator.html

Excellent idea. I'll order one.

Any chance of making one for the glove box? I plug my phone into a usb cord that is located there and man, does it get hot. My owners manual almost melts to the sleeve it's in too.

I measured and cut a section of the waffle-like tool drawer lining and placed that in my glovebox. It acts as a barrier between the owners manual pleather folder (which also carries my insurance card and registration) as well as my iPod Touch which plugs into my USB cord to the DD head unit. It doesn't really help with the heat, however it does help in keeping the pleather folder from sticking.

:thumbs:

Thanks. Does it stick to the OEM felt or is it removable?

Interesting, I do not remember my C5 getting that warm in the glove box, are you folks running stock?

No adhesive, it's a press fit, snug as a bug :D :cheers:

:thumbs: :cheers:

Any for a C4?

Sorry, not at this time.

:iagree:my order was just placed.

Thank you for the order srs244 :cheers:

For those of you who have ordered and installed this mod, any real-world feedback? Can you feel any difference in the console?

Received mine and installed it today. Fits REALLY nice and clean. I guess I'll see how much of a difference it makes in the next day or two. :D

:thumbs: Thank you for posting Eric :cheers:

Great idea, just placed my order!

I have had mine installed for a few days now and I can say that I have noticed a decrease in the arm rest temperatures for sure. I ran a connector cable from my aftermarket head unit arm rest storage area. Before the insulator was in place the bottom of my Ipod would always get very warm to the touch as would other items in the storage bin. After installing the insulator and driving with it in place for the past few days I can say that the items stored in there are significantly cooler to the touch and so it the arm rest itself. For me it was a worthwhile $20 investment. :thumbs:

Thank you for the order Robert :cheers:

:thumbs: Thank you for the write up Eric, very much appreciated :cheers:

Just placed my order.:cool:

Thank you for the order Ken :cheers:

Followup....

:thumbs: Thank you Robert :cheers:

:iagree: couldnt of said it better. Installed mine last night,looks like it came from the factory. :cool:

:thumbs: Thank you Ken :cheers:

Just ordered one!

Just placed my order. :thumbs:

Thank you for the order Greg :cheers:

How is it installed if you don't have to remove your console?

You open the console, remove all your personal items such as loose change and cd's etc, take the insulator ind push it down into place, it's as simple as that :cheers:

If you put the average electronic device in an enclosed area you're going to get noticeable heat build up. I doubt if the glove box gets much heat from the engine. Mostly would be a function of device heat itself and sunlight, engine heat last.

Put me in the group of C4 owners who want one.

So it wouldn't matter if the interior is shale? You don't see this once it is in place?

Thanks,

Les

that is correct, you will only see this if the console cover is open and it will look just like stock :cheers:

Got mine last week works GREAT...!:D

Thank you Philip :cheers:

Added to next month's car budget. This would help keep my iPod a lot cooler than it currently is even after only a few minutes; my USB connection comes out inside the console.

It sure would :thumbs: :cheers:

I placed my order today because I really need one of these to help cool my iPod down and prevent the error messages the heat is causing, but WOW are you guys sure proud of the boxes you ship them in at nearly 10 bucks for shipping. Don't forum guys get a break?

Thank you for the order Ed :cheers:

I put this in my coupe not too long ago, and i can testify to the effectiveness. While driving around Sunday at about 85-90 degrees and sunny. When i opened the center console it was not even warm, whereas before the insulator,it would be hot as well as anything residing in there. Great product. Ken

:thumbs: Thank you for posting Ken :cheers:

Order in!

Dave

Thank you for the order Dave :cheers:

I installed mine on Friday afternoon. After driving around on Saturday I checked my iPod to see how well the insulator was working and the temp was double digits lower. Usually it gets so hot that I can barely hold it, but now it's staying plenty cool enough.

:thumbs: Thank you for posting Corvette_Ed :cheers:

Got mine this past winter but yesterday was the first time I got stuck in stop & go traffic in 90 Deg temps & IMO it works great! Good item!

Thanks for the instructions !
 

I bought mine about a month ago and I've looked at it many times trying to figure out if it goes in or under the Console on my C5. Thank fellas for the heads up. It goes inside the console. :yesnod:

yes it does :thumbs: :cheers:

Order in, L8R ZFLASH

:thumbs: Thank you :cheers:

I just finished up a 1200 mile road trip and when I removed a small flashlight from the console it was hot enough to burn your hand. I just placed my order.

Thank you for the order :cheers:

I have "read" this goes inside the console and that it goes under the console. Less than 10 seconds install would indicate inside the console. It looks way too big to go inside the console. INside the console would seem inappropriate. Please clarify. My 2001 already has a nice thick insulator under the console. I assumed it was original but have not looked at my parts CD yet.

It simply goes inside the console. Open the console, remove any items such as loose change, cd's, sun glassed etc etc, install console insulator foil side down by pressing into place, it's a snug fit, very simple :cheers:

Installed mine 2 weeks ago, a noticeable difference in temperature.

Let me know how much difference in temp. It makes.

Read his post #3: I have had mine installed for a few days now and I can say that I have noticed a decrease in the arm rest temperatures for sure.

I just got mine about a week ago..Super fast shipping, goes in in about 2 seconds, and no more heat felt when I open the console door..great product..:thumbs:

Here's another pic of the insulator installed in the center console of my 2000 coupe. I bought one of these because I was having a problem with my iPod overheating during regular driving. After making a 1000 mile trip to Arizona in 105+ temps my iPod didn't overheat once, so this product definitely works as advertised and does a great job of cooling down an area that otherwise gets extremely hot.

Just installed mine. Amazingly effective!

Great Idea! Just ordered mine!:thumbs:

Can you please confirm receipt of my order?
Thanks,
Bill

I want to add some additional praise to this product. Thanks to the insulator I was able to run my iPod continuously from Dallas, TX to Phoenix, AZ and back again without it overheating once. Prior to installing this product a drive like that would have had the iPod overheating in less than 100 miles. I was very impressed at how well it worked to keep the music going under a constant barrage of heat. For the price you can't beat the quality of its protection.

Order received, thank you Bill, will ship on Monday :cheers:

Thank you Ed, very much appreciated :cheers:

Thanks! Looking forward to getting it!:thumbs:
