Who has Milltek's Active Controller Installed?

[LuckysDad]

For those of you that purchased Milltek's Active Valve Controller.
Was it worth it?
Was it easy to install?

Uh...slightly difficult for me to understand the 2nd part due to the syntax... I got the first part... I pressed #1 for 10 seconds so it will always start with fully open mode all the time.... which I prefer.

Now, On the 2nd functionality, if you press a mode button 5x in 5 seconds, it will start at that mode next time ??

But that can create conflicting instructions to the controller.... !?!

What if I press #3 5x/5sec...

At next start, will it start in mode#1 or Mode #3 ?!??

I'm confused or trippin....

Yikes no no, there are two different startup modes, selecting one overrides the prior startup mode:
- Remember the last valve setting.
- Always start in a specific setting.

It can’t be both at the same time, that’s not even a logical conclusion to come to lol.

To remember the last startup mode, press #1 5x in 5s. This HAS to be #1, it has nothing to do with the valve setting of operation just that the microcontroller is tied to signal from #1..

To always start in a specific mode, hold the valve setting you want for 10 seconds.

Ok.....so, if I want it to start in full open mode, setting #1, then as the car is running, what do I do exactly ?

I just want the car to start at fully open mode n stay that way .... unless I change to full close #3 ,IF n when I want to...say driving down my neighborhood.... BUT, next time when I'm starting the car up, I again want it full open, #1 .... ( they are still gonna know when I'm leaving...
Lol )

Don't ask me why I get confused sometimes on such seemingly simple concept.... could be cause engrish is my 2nd tongue.... lol

Tnx for your help tho....

So I don't have homelink, and the little remote they give you is a faff to play with when driving. Had to find a way to make it easier to press buttons 1 and 2, but definitely not 3...

A few evenings and many attempts at the 3d printer later, I've got a new remote housing that clicks into place in a concealed location in the door card just under the seat memory controls.

Much easier to find/change while driving!

Just installed my 3rd cat delete and valve controller .

1. Fully open
2. Oem
3. Closed
Linked to home 1 open / 2 oem - militek keys are in garbage .

If you were on 1. I discovered next time I start the car it will stay open .

Probably made for $25/unit.... I ve seen remote controlled vacuum pumps for controlling the valves with 2 remotes for $40 on eBay.... I know ,different than what we need , but the price ....

I don't disagree and I'm sure they are making some easy bank .... but they got it to market first so I'm willing to pay the ~ $300ish to have a proven, reliable product.

I'm going to buy 10 and ideally drop ship but if not then will coordinate shipping once I receive
