Looking for feedback on Melochedesign.com in Canada..
Apparently makes a C7 to C6 seat harness (like vetteworks).. I emailed them and got back to me within a few hours, price is right but I’m hesitant with all the scams out there.. looking for feedback from my Corvette family here..
I tried reaching out to Dan, left messages on the phone/email no response, ( I’m talking over the course of a couple months) I’ve read that his harnesses are 8+ weeks which I don’t mind but if I can’t get response from him I can’t order

Only reason they caught my eye is they have a set up that’s able to utilize both the heated and cool seat function on the c7 seats. But some deal kinda skeptical with no ratings.

Called a month later and he was very nice on the phone and apologized about not getting them out and said he’d get them out soon.
Three months later, just a week before the 6 month cutoff to be able to protest the charge with my credit card, I called Mastercard and explained the situation.
They did an investigation and found in my favor and credited me the $455.
Shame because I really wanted the adapters. Since then, I’ve read lots of posts on this forum about people not being able to get a hold of Dan at Vetteworks so I’m hesitant to try again.
found this thread looking for reviews of the Meloche adapters. They have the seat heat and vent controls integrated to a new control panel that replaced the OEM one.
Seriously thinking about ordering them now.

That being said the product was 100% worth the wait but customer service and promptness are not his strong suite.

looks like a lot of stuff for $385 (no tax free shipping)
Don’t know when I’ll get to the actual installing part but it looks like Meloche is a legit seller!
Sorry Vetteworks, I gave you SIX MONTHS to get this exact same product put together and shipped to me.
Meloche Designs for the win!!!

First, please note that I am not commenting on the quality of your product, nor the time put into R&D for anything you offer for sale.
Now, with that out of the way, this seems to be of your own making. Tell me why we should feel for you when it is well known, from previous customers, that you work and reply when you feel like it. That a customer reaching out for SIX MONTHS, doesn't get a response and goes elsewhere, and not only gets an immediate response, but orders and receives the product in just over two weeks. Why we should feel bad for you for attempting to run out the credit card protection so that a customer can't dispute the purchase with the credit card when you don't reply, don't deliver their order, or both!
I fail to see how a new website will help with better customer response. Maybe work on your backlog and customer response would be time (and money) better spent than a website upgrade.
In my opinion, which is like an a$$hole because everybody has one, you would be better off ANSWERING your customers (or potential customers) rather than coming here to boo hoo about competition. Also, your statement that you won't help with troubleshooting unless it's your product or sold by an authorized vendor seems to show that you are in this only for the money where some true enthusiast vendors will help troubleshoot an issue whether it is their product or not. Your statement also assumes that Meloche cannot or will not be able to help troubleshoot any issues for their customer.
Further, if you know for sure that another company has copied your product, sue them for copyright and/or patent infringement. And if it wasn't copyrighted or patented (or patentable), then you really can't complain in this world of copy/paste/print. To be honest, where this seems to be 90% wiring harness, I doubt it could be patented to begin with and proving that they actually copied yours rather than came up with their own solution would be difficult UNLESS the statement about not helping troubleshoot means that you have a designed in flaw in your product that requires "the secret" and that their module has this same problem. If that is the case, then that is pretty low on your part to begin with.
why not just go /w Dan from Vetteworks? his stuff works well and he is usually pretty good at responding to emails/questions/etc.

I’ve reached out to Meloche and he’s been responsive, i just emailed him to see if he has the parts for my harness and if he can take at least a photo with my name on the side of the parts I will proceed with the order.. I will gladly keep you all posted with my outcome
Emailed him about an hour and a half ago about the 2013 seat plug being different from earlier years because I think Vetteworks said they changed them in ‘13. He already replied so fast communication, that’s a good thing!
I think as long as we use PayPal or some other form of payment that offers protection we’ll be fine.
I’m about 90+% sure I’m gonna pull the trigger. Just not certain if I want to coin up for the heated seat panel. I’ve had the C7 seats for almost a year and I’m jonesing to try them out.
Well, I placed an order for the C7 2014-2017 seat harness for my 2013. I got the airbag simulator, seat position simulator, telescoping steering wheel, and the ventilated seat fan options.
$385 with free shipping and no sales tax (Yay Canadian purchase) Paid with PayPal
Fingers crossed!
