Default C7 Remote Keyless

Just got my C7 last week.
This is my first car with remote key, So a little getting used to open door without pushing unlock button, didn't have to stick key into car & turn to start & removing key from car to leave.

Had first valet parking experience today.
Totally cool with driving up to restaurant with top down, 4 Valet guys running up fighting to first to valet Vette.
Returning, I saw C7 parked right up front. Gave my ticket, Valet guy asks if I still have the key. After a few seconds, I finally realized that I still have key in my pocket, laughed & said Oops, Sorry about that...

They all laughed too & said luckily it wasn't raining & they could park it, but couldn't retrieve it either, so they gladly parked it up front...

You're very trusting, leaving your car with a valet. I ALWAYS pay in advance and ask to park the car myself.

Do most valets let you do this? I always wondered about how to just pay and park yourself, but not sure if they are cool with it or not?

If they argue with you, give them a little extra. It isn't worth it. The only time I turn over my fob is Chevy dealer service.

BTW, OP, sorry for jacking your thread.

No problem.
I usually self park.
But it's an unusually beautiful nice day, so left the top down.
