NPP default mode
On the C6, with the engine is off, the default position for the NPP valves is wide open at start up until vacuum builds up. The C7 is of course a totally different exhaust system. As such, I'm wondering if the valves will be in the open or closed position with the console **** set to the quietest position at start up. Hopefully, either Talon90 or GM'er will read this post and be able to fill us in.

There is an accessory press and an "ignition on, engine off" mode which allows you to do anything you can do when the car is but the motor is off. Sme systems are powered down in accessory mode and this takes care of that.

C6 key less ing. switch works the same way. Tilt the switch inward at the top for engine start, inward at the bottom for acc. mode. One can go to full power on mode w/o starting the engine simply by not depressing the clutch on the M6. On the A6, not depressing the brake pedal serves the same function.
