That would be a great demonstration you're listening to PC customers, and a big loyalty boost for future products! Only reason I (and a bunch on PC) go to CoastalTech is they don't have competition with better customer service. That could be you!? Just my opinions. I'm immediately on the purchase list if you agree. . |

If you're in an accident, the doors can't be opened from the outside (at least, not quick). It would i.m.o. be better if the doors unlock above a certain speed (eg 20 mi/hr) and lock at speeds below that. |

My Car: 2008 Prius Package: #6 Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 1 | I think most would agree that having it lock at a certain speed (or even when it's put into drive or reverse) would be ideal. I'm sure this adds to the complexity exponentially as now the module will have to integrate into the vehicles computer. I for one would be annoyed if the vehicle locked as soon as the power was turned on as there are times when I get in the car before and turn on the car before my passengers get in. Case in point: I have a soon to be 5 year old and a 3 year old. My 5yo sits behind the drivers seat, and my 3yo sits behind the passenger seat. I live in Arizona where it's hot as hell... actually, probably hotter than hell. My son gets in by himself and fastens his own seat belt (on his booster seat). I then get in and start the car to get the A/C going. My wife is usually still outside the car strapping my 3yo in. After finishing, she'll open the passenger door and get in. It sounds like in this case I'd have to unlock the door for my wife to get in? If this is the case, that's a bit silly. Mike |
