Apparently a $3 lock was just a wee bit too much to ask, same on the glovebox.

Car still on order. I read in either sales brochure or on corvetteforum.com that both center
console and glovebox lock electrically.

just unlock your door, leave the keys outside the car, lock the doors from inside and then give it a try.

According to the manual, the only things that lock when in Valet mode is the glovebox, the Infotainment screen (can't be lowered) and if a vert, the top.
It doesn't say anything about the center console

Another nitpicking BS thread. The Glove box locks. The screen locks. Both in valet mode. The console doesn't. Anything you need to secure put it into one of those places and drive the effin 460 hp sexy beast and quit your crying.

The center console is like other more recent Vette's, the cover is very close to the driveshaft torque tube. You can’t put very much in it! A lock would not be very useful! At least the C7 has the “hidden area” behind the center screen that can be locked! Could hide even a small pistol!

The glovebox and screen both lock in valet mode, center console does not.

Most vehicles don't have locking center consoles - and, considering how small the one on the C7 is, I am not surprised it doesn't have one either.

it won't kill me to move any items in the console to the screen cavity or glovebox if I'm worried about people getting in there...can't remember another car I've had with a locking console...I know the soccer mom SUV's do...
