Have one in both my C5 and C6 coupes. Great on hot day where you can open the windows before you get into the car. Especially nice in my C6 with the glass top.

It plugs into the OBDII port under the steering column. From there - you'll spend about five minutes configuring it, and you're done! I move mine between my two C5's and have never had a single issue with it in about five years of using it.

I can't imagine not having it.....

It automatically works once the Valet is configured. 3 pushes on lock raises the windows, 3 pushes on unlock lowers the windows.

It really is easy, peasy lemon squeezy!
