Default Security Question

I Parked my new C6 and went into a reataurant in Palm Springs.

When I returned my doors were still locked but the center console was wide open.

It was not open when I left the car.

Very mysterious to think that another master transmitter or master Key is out in the world??

Were you at a resturant? Was their alcohol involved?
Just don't think that could happen

I'm betting that you left it open. Was anything missing? I'd bet that if a master transmitter or key were involved that your car would be long, long gone.

Reading is FUNdamental. I think he said it was the center console.


WHITE C6, if your C6 is a 2007 model, it does not have a lock on it. You may have caught an article of clothing on the corner of the lid without realizing it and opened it.

Doubtful anyone would have broken into the car without leaving other visible signs and then did nothing else but open the console.

You know the song "Tequila makes her clothes fall off"

For the C6 it is " Tequilla makes her lid go off"

Thanks

Either you accidentally pressed the console open button on your fob or your DIC is programmed to automagically open the console when it senses the fob is near. Reprogram your DIC center console settings immediately!

But seriously and unless someone's just playing Helter Skelter with you....if nothing is missing and everything else is as you left it....I'd say you did it yourself.

There is a rat or squirrel in there from when you had it in the garage and the window open. He was looking for some gum in there and left it open. Right now he is behind the dash scared and eating thru the master wiring harness.

Well, I hate to bring this up, but I've had a couple of occasions when my fob has been in the house (far away) and without thinking I've opened the door on my Vette in the garage.

I've read on the Forum of similar occurrances.

For that reason when I'm out I hit the lock button just to make sure it is actually locked.

Next time, put the top up before locking the car.
