Xineering Downshift Blip Module Installation

[@tjmoneybags]

Great item. I like how you added a switch. Don't know if you're like me, but that red light in the switch being on all the time would drive me nuts, especially at night. But the function is incredible. How cool.

[@jrstormont]

Been eyeballing this for my c6. When trying to heel-toe, I can't get my foot to rotate correctly for the life of me without mashing the brake more, upsetting the car. Will be a future mod for sure! Thanks for sharing!!

[@505zo6]

When they say heel toe. You're not really using your heel and your toe in newer generation cars. You are really using the ball of your big toe on the break and the ball of your pinky toe on the gas. Try pressing down on the brake with the ball of your big toe, then push your knee towards the center console. That will rotate your foot onto the throttle pedal. Good luck...

[@jrstormont]

@@505zo6 Thanks for replying. That's the method I've been trying. It's just an awkward movement I gotta get used to... or get this mod!

[@backyardboosters9128]

Jason Stormont it takes time for it to be natural

[@brenbuchler94]

You’re not alone brother takes practice to develop

[@hiighcalibre]

Get some good pedal covers, it's much, much easier when your gas and brake are wide and the gap is smaller.

[@kirkendicott5521]

Glad I have a manual c7.

[@brenbuchler94]

Awesome!! Want to get this in my vette

[@allovertheplacestevie9523]

this is awesome! does this have a toggle option by any chance or once programmed you permanently drive like this regardless on revs?

[@douggoss9227]

Hey Chris, Just a quick question...any particular reason you installed the module in the glovebox vs hiding in console etc? Also, it's now 2022, how are you feeling about the module, still thumbs up? Also, I'm in Gilbert, do you ever go out with East Valley Corvettes? Would like to connect and take a look at some of your handywork

[@MrBasically810]

That thing sounds soooooo gooooooooooooooooooood

[@patrickmorrison3316]

hey Chris, we’ve chatted before. About to add this for my Z06 for track days. What “on/off” switch did you use specifically? Do you remember, or can you suggest one?

[@moe4772]

Nice Husky Cabinets :) Gotta get me some!

[@FronkG]

Damn i really want it in my c5! The gas pedal position is very awkward for me to Heel toe

[@brenbuchler94]

Fronk G I agree!

[@nashrambler5246]

Wow!!! Now that’s a nifty device to have. Impressive!!! 😎 🕺🏼

[@richardrodriguez3276]

How's it like on the streets with stop and go traffic? Let's say you're at a red light in neutral. Will it blip every time you get back going to 1st?

[@mycorvettelife]

It blips any time it senses brake and clutch. So if you let your foot off either, yes it will. This is also why Input it on a switch so I can turn it off.

[@TheMultiDbryant1]

Could u do a video of how to replace the defroster outlet grille n ur Corvette bc I have a 04 c5 Corvette 50th anniversary and nobody doesn't have a video about it

[@marioremondino9837]

My feet are too big to heel toe my c5. I may have to get this

[@BamBam-ep7bx]

Thanks for the video I need one for my Vette

[@equipt4254]

Does the brake have to be pressed before the clutch, or is the signal it looking for both brake and clutch? Have you used the autoblip branded system before this one?

[@mycorvettelife]

Doesn’t matter the order but both have to be pressed. I have not used Autoblip.

[@armintheman]

Does it blip with just the clutch peddle engaged but not the brake? So for a normal down shift for example would it rev match? Or brake and clutch but need to be pressed for it to work?

[@mycorvettelife]

Brake and clutch

[@petercarey6883]

Great upload Chris. Does this Blip Module come with a complete set of instructions? Since it's also available for the C6 and C7, does one have to specify which generation you want it for, or is this just a universal setup for all three generations?

[@mycorvettelife]

Yes it comes with instructions but this video is far more in depth. Go to the website for more details.

[@petercarey6883]

Thanks Chris. I always enjoy and prefer watching an install, but have written instruction as well helps. Plus, my C6 interior is a tad different than your C5. That's why I asked in that the "principal" may be same, but the details are probably just a "tad" different. Save the Wave🙋🏼‍♂️

[@falloutmaniac1996]

Very interesting if mine was manual I would definitely get this. Great video!

[@edgardovigocastillo794]

Yheap we are on the same page. Automatic Vette life jjeejje

[@franco804]

Great video and cool gadget.

[@jcloud96]

another great video

[@TheTdriver9]

Do they make a C6 version? Or will this work with any older Vette?

[@mycorvettelife]

Same module works for C5,6,7.

[@Dirty_dyna420]

Any discount codes for this ?? Might look into one!!

[@mycorvettelife]

Not at this time.

[@WORRO]

Amazing, Thumbs-up video Brother ~John

[@airsoftkid01]

I have read people using them on the track. Any issues running one of these on the street?

[@mycorvettelife]

I don’t see why not. Just dial back the Blip% as I showed in the video.

[@daviddebuhr8995]

Pretty cool. But I've been heel-toing for the last 30 years...all the time, everywhere. I think this would mess me up for a while...

[@schmediumperformance]

Love the idea hate the price. Great vid nonetheless Chris, but we do need to get you on an external audio recorder/lav mic!

[@mycorvettelife]

It’s pricey, but it’s not some cheap Chinese made gadget.

[@schmediumperformance]

My Corvette Life true

[@RawC7Z]

How does it know to blip a downshift vs upshift?

[@mycorvettelife]

As I stated in the video, the module only creates a blip if the brake and clutch are engaged. So if you shift down or up without foot of the brake it won’t blip. I guess theoretically you could force a blip on upshift if you were pressing the brake, but why would you? Your RPMs are already elevated, thus why you would be up shifting.

[@georgepaolino3532]

Thank you

[@colemcmeans7809]

cool stuff

[@arsenal5535]

Very interesting, thanks for the video! Do you think you would ever convert to coilovers?

[@mycorvettelife]

Yes

[@IndependenceCityMotoring]

Nice, will buy one of these if the price comes down below $200.

[@mycorvettelife]

It’s a bit pricey, but it’s not some cheap made in China product.

[@Adnan-ph1et]

automatic here thank you

[@mycorvettelife]

This is for manual only

[@smelllikeloud8224]

LMAOO😭

[@highwayspeed867]

Can you use it on a automatic C6?

[@mycorvettelife]

No

[@camonly849]

You dont need it on an automatic

[@robertstahl8835]

Wow... they advertise this as "plug and play" that is quite a stretch claiming that

[@mycorvettelife]

It is plug and play. The wires used to plug just take some routing through the car before you can play. You could literally just leave everything exposed and plug it in and it would work, but who wants that?

[@jonsmail8082]

I guess I have no problem heel-toeing my C5 Z06 cause at $500 that is steap price to pay.

[@mycorvettelife]

It’s not a cheat Chinese gadget.

[@jonsmail8082]

Track my car and as stated have no problem heel-toeing aka rev matching

[@JohnMachado24]

Pretty cool, but not $500 cool...

[@mycorvettelife]

It’s pricey, but it’s not a cheap made in China part.

[@cmc117camaro8]

Learn why historically the heel-toe technique was developed and used, then learn how to heel-toe appropriately. It is very satisfying to do, creates a stronger driver confidence with the car, maintains balance in the car, reduces drivetrain wear and tear, and may help in braking the car in an emergency.

[@Teal2nnr]

I mean that's the point of having a computer aided throttle blipper, it's consistent.

[@Akho21570]

Tearing half your interior apart to install it, no thanks.

[@mycorvettelife]

It’s really not difficult. It’s a few screws and a few bolts. I’ve even provided a step by step tutorial on how to do it.

[@douggoss9227]

@@mycorvettelife LOL--- I'm in Gilbert...Do you do house calls? 🙂

[@quicksilverz6642]

Why not just learn how to drive?
