Kline Valve Controller (Inconel Button)
#16
I plan to plug the button into the socket in the passenger footwell which will not be easy to reach. I will try to pair the Inconel button to the car's homelink buttons for ease of use.
Complete kit shown below.

Question for anyone who has this button. Once you open the valves and the blue light comes on, if you remove the button from the 12v plug and close the lid, do the valves stay open or will they close back up and PSE takes over?

@WarriorGT if I remove the button the valves go back to PSE standard function. For the valves to stay open all the time, the button must be plugged in with the blue light on.
Also, with the Inconel button on, blue light illuminated, the following things happen.
My garage door opener does not work inside the car. If I hold it out the window, the garage door remote works.
None of the key fob buttons work. Door lock / unlock, trunk or hood open.
Early versions of the inconel button have this issue and supposedly Kline was making an updated version to correct the problem.

Kline Inconel button review
Update to my August post, #14 above.
I had the Kline Inconel Button valve controller installed and did have to use the reverse polarity adapter.
Pairing Home link with the Inconel Button did not work for me. Home link seems to be a momentary signal and the Inconel button seems to need a constant signal to keep the valves open.
For the valves to stay open all the time, the Inconel Button must be plugged in with the blue light on.
Function
With the Inconel Button in the cigarette socket, push the button so the light illuminates and the valves stay open all the time. Push the button again, light turns off and PSE function returns to OEM.
Side effects
Whenthe Inconel button is on, blue light illuminated, the following things happen.
I like the simple function but would prefer it did not interfer with my garage door opener or key fob.

Good info. Thanks for sharing. It seems like a cool concept but Kline didn’t get this one right. I am going to skip it and try some collars. If that doesn’t work out for me, I will go the Cargraphics route.
