Your website is charging shipping on this product. Is there a coupon code I should be using?

Does it default to closed so car starts always closed.. ?

You probably have 3 day shipping selected by accident. Make sure ground is selected and the shipping will zero out.

Let me know,

Jim :cheers:

I'll take the lack of response to mean no ?

It remains in either On or Off position, such that, if you have the system turned off and valves open, they will be open when you start your car and vice-versa.

Thanks,

So it can't be programmed to default to off ?
Thanks

You always want to shut down the car with the exhaust valves open, so as to reduce battery drain.
There is a no-drain installation method that can be used as well. It's in the instructions.

Nanook 07-17-2012 11:37 PM

I'm not so much concerned about the battery drain...I have one of these now.. and it always starts in the open mode...regardless of how I shut the car off..annoying..

Gary '09 C6 07-17-2012 11:50 PM

If I'm not mistaken, isn't that the "normal" way the bi-mode exhaust operates ?
Once the vacuum pressure is gone (engine off), the exhaust valves just open.

Nanook 07-18-2012 12:00 AM

Well mine are always open at startup..I'd prefer they start closed and I open if I desire or they open as normal..this device on my Z06 would start in the same state as at shut down...now I didn't install this one in this car so I'm not certain if it's the exact same or if it's connected differently (or if it even could be installed wrong).. ? (I didn't word this well)

Gary '09 C6 07-18-2012 12:06 AM

If I set my M2W so the exhaust valves are open at shut-down, they are open at next start-up and stay that way.
If I set the M2W so the exhaust valves are closed at shut-down, they are briefly open (no vacuum) at next start-up
but immediately close (vacuum restored).

Maybe you did have a different unit in your Z06 ? One would think all would work similarly...

Nanook 07-18-2012 12:12 AM

Yes there are different units I think..if one reads their website there are options for memory state at shut down/startup..I did look into the wiring but can't see an option there..(with my current unit)

Gary '09 C6 07-18-2012 12:17 AM

I purchased mine from Top Flight Reproductions, f y i.

Nanook 07-18-2012 12:22 AM

It's lookin like I may have to purchase a new unit..rats. Well at least I'll get rid of the remote with the newer type that can be learned by the Car2u system...which won't learn this current unit either.. :(

Nanook 07-18-2012 12:34 AM

Okay I found the situation...the device has a power saving install method that if utilized always starts the car in the (what they call "off") position....otherwise I suspect it starts in the last used position...woohoo..will rewire tomorrow..
thanks for your input Gary

Nanook 07-18-2012 04:04 PM

Fixed..

Gary '09 C6 07-18-2012 10:57 PM

glad I could assist, and good for you ! :thumbs:

No,it stays on whatever you have it on. The only way you change it,is when you use the controller.
