using key fob to open window
Heard on the radio this morning you can open the windows on your car by using the key fob. Press unlock, release, press and hold. Or insert key in lock,turn clockwise, release, turn clockwise and hold. That is suppose to put windows down in some models. Corvette was on that list. Perhaps a newer model? Anybody tried it on their C5? My car is at home and I will try when I get home. However it suppose to work on some other models also. Google "how to use key fob to roll down windows". Your other vehicle might be on the list.

I believe this is a standard feature on the C6 Corvette. However for us C5 owners, we need the "Window Valet" which basically does the same thing. You plug it in and program it. Press the unlock button on the key fob 3 times to lower the window and press the lock button on the key fob 3 times to raise the windows. I love mine, however I suggest you turn the horn/lights option off.

And let me add, another nice feature with it is your radio will come on when the windows go down....just remember to turn the volume down before doing the windows up process, or you might get booted out of the church parking lot!
