Installation
(1.9M/866K)
for the C6 is just like it was for the C5. It just plugs into the diagnostics
port. No wires, no cutting, no tools.
Once installed, the Window Valet™ for C6 is configured by using
the buttons on the Driver's Instrument Center. A few clicks tells the
Window Valet™ which features to enable.
Description:
The Window Valet™ for C6 provides remote power window control for the
2005 and newer Corvette. Additional bonus features can be optionally
configured.
** Moving power windows can be dangerous if someone or something were
to become pinched or trapped. By installing this product, you agree
to the
Terms of Use, Warranty, and Liability Waiver. Never use the
remote power window feature unless both windows are completely clear
of obstructions.
Installation:
|
The Window Valet™ for C6 plugs into the diagnostics port underneath
the steering column, just past the edge of the dash trim. There's
no configuration required. Just plug it in! The Window Valet™ for
C6 does not reprogram any of the car's computers. So to reverse
the install, just unplug the unit, and the C6 will immediately
revert back to stock. |
Usage:
To lower the windows via remote, press the remote unlock button
three times. To raise the windows, press the remote lock button
three times. (Or to prevent the C6 from blowing its horn multiple
times, unlock-unlock-lock may be used.) For the features to
activate, the buttons must be pressed in rapid succession, with
less than one second between two sequential clicks.
Special Window Venting Feature:
The window venting feature allows you to use the remote to leave
the windows down about half-an-inch for airflow on hot days. To
use this feature, simply issue the remote window up command
when both windows are already in the fully up position. The Window
Valet™ for C6 will recognize that the windows are already up and
assume that you want to vent the windows. This feature, just like
the remote window control, does not require any additional
configuration.
Bonus Features:
The Window Valet™ for C6 includes several bonus features in addition
to remote window control. There is a special "subtle alarm" warning mode,
an unlock on hand brake feature, and a high speed/tach report.
- 1 - The "subtle alarm"
mode will cause the horn to toot three times
whenever someone pulls on an outside door handle while the car is
locked. If a valid FOB is detected and the door unlocks because
the C6's passive mode is enabled, the horn will not sound. It's a
you're busted message to kids trolling for unlocked cars.
- 2 - "Unlock on brake"
will unlock the doors whenever the hand brake is
set. It will re-lock the doors whenever the brake is released. This
feature is only available when the engine is running. It's
convenient when dropping off a passenger.
- 3 - The "high speed/tach report"
will show the highest speed and the
highest RPM recorded by the Window Valet™ for C6 since it was last
cleared. These values are shown directly on the speedometer and
tachometer's analog needles. Only mph on a 200mph style gauge is
available. To recall the values, press and hold RESET on the
Instrument Panel Cluster while tapping unlock six (6) times on the
driver's door panel. Speeds up to 100mph will be shown. To show
the remainder over 100mph, press the GAUGES button. Press RESET
again to exit, or press FUEL to clear the high values and exit.
Bonus Feature Configuration Process:
To configure bonus features 1 and 2, press the driver's door panel
unlock button quickly six (6) times. The tachometer will move to
1 krpm and the speedometer will either read 30 mph or 0 mph
depending on whether or not the first feature (Subtle Alarm) is
configured to be ON or OFF. Pressing the FUEL button will then toggle the
ON/OFF configuration of the Subtle Alarm mode. Pressing another
button, such as GAUGES will recall the
configuration status for another feature. That feature can then be
toggled ON or OFF by simply pressing its associated button again
until the desired setting is achieved. Press RESET to exit
configuration mode. All changes are automatically saved inside
the Window Valet™ for C6. This data will be saved if the unit is
removed and re-installed later.
Configuration Options:
Feature |
Button |
Tachometer(KRPM) |
Speedometer (MPH) |
Subtle Alarm |
1-FUEL |
1 |
0=off; 30=on |
Unlock on Brake |
2-GAUGES |
2 |
0=off; 30=on |
When configured at the factory, all bonus features are disabled so
that no one is surprised by an unexpected action, such as the
doors unlocking when the handbrake is set. Here's an example that
shows exactly how to set the unlock on brake feature:
Example:
To set the Unlock on brake feature, enter configuration mode by
pressing unlock on the driver door panel six (6) times. Note that
the tachometer is now reading 1 KRPM indicating that configuration
mode is active and that the Subtle Alarm feature is being
reviewed. Press the GAUGES button on the Instrument Panel Cluster
to review the Unlock on brake feature. If fresh from the factory,
the speedometer should now read 0 mph (feature off) while the
tachometer will read about 2 KRPM. Press the GAUGES button again
to activate the feature and note that the speedometer will now show
30 mph. (Pressing the GAUGES button another time will toggle the
feature off again and indicate so by moving the speedometer back to
0 mph.) Press RESET on the Instrument Panel Cluster to exit
configuration mode, or select another features to review or change.
Note:
The C6 may toot its horn on the second and third remote lock commands
even if its horn configuration is set to silent when locking. This is a
feature of the C6, not the Window Valet™, and is designed to act as
a lock confirmation. To prevent the horn from blowing when remotely
raising the windows, you may use the alternate window up command
sequence: Unlock, Unlock, Lock.
