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.

After 6 weeks I reached out to him and he said he was having supply issues with the C7 plugs but had found a new source and it sounded like he’d have them within a week or two. 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.

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!!!

Notice: To those who buy any C6 Airbag sim from these guys, I will not help with troubleshooting unless you're a customer of mine or a certified Vender with Vetteworks parts. Vetteworks does have issues with backlog and sometimes poor communication. We just uploaded a new website that should eliminate our communication issues.
Dan,

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.

Well… Funny you should mention that Jupiter81,
I sold the C6 in March after buying this 2015 in February so I never got a chance to try it out!
In fact I still have the harness kit in the box on my kitchen table!

Anybody wanna save a few bucks on a complete Meloche kit? LOL

I messaged them and they replied rather quickly and basically what they said is that their kit is a complete and comprehensive solution to the c7 seats swap specially for those with the heated and cooled seats.

i ended up with some z06 3LT seats so we finna take the leap of faith

I haven’t had any issues with mine.. took about 2 weeks to arrive and was pretty straight forward.. just make sure you reach out to Darren and tell him what you need.. follow his instructions and go from there..

I wish I could say that I had the same experience. took nearly 3+ weeks then ships it usps and while the receipt says delivered; it never got to my mailbox. I immediately contacted him about it to let him know that i don't have the package and after that he never replied back to any emails. if you are in need of a kit for swap then don't go with meloche designs at all.
now I had to open a dispute just to get any type of feedback from them. I might get screwed over, so don't get screwed over people, learn from my experience and find another solution.

Seeing some mixed reviews, but I went with Meloche back in October 2025 and the wiring kit was delivered within 3 weeks. The harnesses are professional looking. I just completed swapping both seats (2015 C7 Z06 seats into my 2005 C6 Z06) and everything works. Power for both seats, fans for both seats and telescoping wheel. Instructions weren't the best but I figured it out. Darren was also quick to reply to my emails as the telescoping steering wheel wasn't working at first. Darren was good enough to email back and forth with me to figure out the problem. He found out that he had a couple wires swapped and luckily they were accessible. All I had to do was swap 1 wire with another. So except for the one hiccup which should now be fixed for his future sales, I would recommend his kit.

Default I’m stuck!

Hey bud I am stuck on my install. Do you know where the two smaller wires off of the harness near the main adapter go? Also there is a single loose wire off of the seat fan control module - is that just a ground?

darren has been a bit slow to respond and I have my car pulled apart in my garage.

thank you!
