Corvette Window Valet
I have tried a ton of Corvette Parts and Accessories on the different Corvettes I have owned over the years (3 C5 Z06's and 1 C6 Coupe, and 2 C6 Z06's) and there is always one or two Corvette modifications that I do as a "given" every time I get a new Vette. One of those Corvette modifications is the Window Valet, a C6 Window Valet and C5 Window Valet. If you have never seen or heard of the Window Valet, you really need to check it out. you will wonder how you ever got along without it. The Corvette Window Valet is available for both the C5 and C6 Corvette (Z06 and ZR1 included) and gives you some really cool functionality. Installation is as simple as plugging it into the OBDII port underneath your steering wheel and does not modify your Corvette in anyway. It can be removed at any time and then reinstalled without any gotcha's. Literally, installation takes less than 30 seconds, 20 of that spent looking for your OBDII port.
Once installed the Window Valet lets you remotely control your windows from your Corvette Key remote. Click the lock button three times and the windows roll up, click unlock three times and the windows roll down. This is a super convenient way to vent the car of heat when walking up to it on a hot summer day or leave the windows down at the office and roll them up from your office window if signs of bad weather are approaching. The Window Valet also allows you to set accessory power to come on when you roll the windows down so that your stereo will turn on remotely.
Some other really neat features are the ability to see how fast your car was driven and the highest tach reading achieved since last reset. This is an excellent way to monitor how your vehicle was driven by the restaurant valet or your teenage son on prom night (only night you loan him the Corvette). With the C6 Valet there is also the "unlock on brake" feature which automatically unlocks the doors once the parking brake is applied. There is also the Window Vent feature....say you want to leave your windows cracked, but not all the way down. The Valet makes venting really easy, with the windows rolled up, press the lock button on the key fob three times and the windows will open up about 1" and stop there.
I have not even mentioned how useful the Valet is for the Convertible....Ever try to put the top up with your windows up? The Window Valet is a MUST for Vert owners........I think you can see the value without me needing to explain. Walk around the car, three clicks and the windows roll down, put the top up, three clicks and the windows go back up. You never even need to get inside the car.
Both the C5 and C6 Valet's come with several other minor features...just the remote window control alone is enough for me to purchase for every Corvette I have owned. Reasonably priced around $150 bucks from most suppliers with a few in sub $140 range....
