Market Research Help — Quick Question, Not Selling Anything

[amymcrosby]

I’m working on a product concept for a small, affordable device that reminds you when your sunroof is left open before you leave your car — no wiring, no hassle, just simple peace of mind.

If you drive a vehicle with a sunroof, I’d love your thoughts:

Would you find a product like this useful?
Have you ever forgotten your sunroof open or worried about it?
What would you expect something like this to cost?

Any feedback (even “meh”) would really help me shape this idea. Thanks!

Yes on the first two.

I tend to not leave it open just to avoid worrying about it.

It would be nice if the alerting could be integrated into the vehicle. Meaning if rain or nighttime is coming to send an alert through the GMC/Chevy app.

Guessing something like that could be worth $200 although one could argue that would be a cheap cost compared to risking having the interior ruined or needing professional cleaning to get the water/potential mold out if the carpet if a downpour were to occur.

there is probably some market out there for it, but....
how it is integrated and how easy or hard it is to install is a factor
you do not provide enough details to even guess how much it might be worth
the question then boils down to ya you could probably sell a few gizmo's to the masses at $19.99 and less at $199.00
and unless it drops a brick on your head it's not going to alert anyone unless it makes a sound when the key is turned off with the glass open and if that is the case make a easy bypass or dismiss button so you could sit in your vehicle in peace if so desired.
if it is bluetooth with a app or something, have it make a distinct noise because my phone could buzz, ding, alert whatever and I just ignore it 99% of the time.
and whatever you do add a disclaimer.........
