Ordered today. Had it on two other Vettes and it worked great.

Can someone explain who has the Window Valet.

Does the Window Valet work when the C7 ignition is OFF?

Does the C7 have to be started in order for the Window Valet Device to work?

If you don't have the window valet installed do the C7 windows go up and down without the ignition on?

I am away from my C7 currently so I don't know?

As much as I dislike SCP, just placed my order for one.
Best price available with the discount code. Thanks Jake.

not sure what you're asking but no window valet = no window function without ignition or acc power on

I am away from my C7 currently so I don't know?
On mobile, please forgive abruptness

Thank you for the response. You have answered my question(s).

I also own a 2009 Jaguar XKR and 2014 Porsche 981.

I was hoping to find the same device for these cars.

I am not sure they are made.

They make them for a lot of cars. They have a patent on the product. See PDF on my post #7 on this thread. They are not a forum vendor so can't give website.

Didn't find your post #7 here or the PDF.

I looked at manufacturers website but it only shows Corvette Window Valets, no other brands.

Mine barely crack open. Not a big deal but would be nice if mine opened as far as pictured.

Sorry, saw others and see they are all Vettes! Since with our BMX X5 SUV all 4 windows and even the sliding glass roof open if you just hold down the FOB open button, thought it was a more common feature!

Does anyone know the sequence to do the following:

set REMOTE LOCK FEEDBACK to LIGHTS ONLY...eliminates horn honks?

Is this sequence correct?

Settings > Vehicle > Remote Lock, Unlock, Start > Remote Lock Feedback set to "Lights & Horn"? From your description, it may be set to "Lights Only"

Ordered mine the 23rd and still nothing. No response to email directly to SCP or via the forum. Will be opening a dispute on my C/C this week if they do not respond.

One point of interest....

I have noticed on some occasions with vendors who list an item for sale on this CF, that if the item is popular by demand, the vendors don't have the item in stock.

The vendor takes the order, then the customer waits and waits until the seller gets their inventory replaced then the orders are sent out. Usually there is no notification to the customer from the vendor. In most cases, you can only go to their respective website and view the order, but there is no indication the item is considered an "out of stock" item, or is a "backordered" item.

I have had this happen to me, where the vendor advertises here on CF, orders are placed and the vendor cannot fill the order, never notifies the customer. The vendor has to wait until their inventory is replenished.

In these cases, I have paid in advance and I request a refund from that vendor. I will not deal with a vendor that does this and does not answer emails or has notified the customer of a "backorder" situation.

In many cases these vendors are small and do not stock a wide range of parts in their respective inventory, so the consumer has to wait until the vendors inventory is restocked. The best kind of order is a third party order, where the vendor takes the order, passes it on to the manufactuer and the manufacturer sends it out directly to the customer.

This is the way Lloyd Mats work, the vendor takes the order, sends to Lloyd Mats and the mats are made and sent to the customer. There are usually never any problems with waiting.

This is just a thought about dealing with CF vendors and actual experiences that I have encountered.

I had received mine about a week ago, love it. Pricy for this little convince item but worth it in FL. I like how you don't have to hold down the button on the key on the 3rd click (my truck does). 3 clicks and the cars open and then windows are all the way down.
