Save your $9.95 for something that's actually useful.
The C6 Corvette stores computer codes and radio presets in NON-volatile memory (NVRAM). That means you can disconnect the battery, remove it, juggle it with a couple of running chainsaws, and you still won't lose any computer or radio settings.
It also means that the aggravating mantra repeated again and again here to disconnect the battery to "reset" the computer is a bunch of BS.
The only thing that requires the battery to retain its settings is the window indexing memory, and that takes all of 3 seconds to restore once power is back.

Not necessary for the C6.
