Hi All,

Does anyone have one of these gizmos? If so, have you experienced any issues? I'm concerned that installation may interfere with the car's electrical system or computer settings.

Thanks,

I installed one of these on my Z06 last spring It worked fine for a few months, but then one day it wouldn't start and the speedometer was moving back and forth. I removed it and everything returned to normal. I haven't had the desire to reinstall and program it again. Good luck.

I purchased and installed one on my 1999 C5 coupe several years ago.

I have NEVER had a problem with it and really like the item.

Put one in our '03 convertible quite some time ago and have not had a bit of trouble from it. Very handy for top down/top up operation.

I have been thinking about getting one of these myself. I wasn't sure that it would be worth it but it sounds like it would be very nice to have.
