How can I tell if my Vette has a Performance Data Recorder? From the top of the windshield, I can see what looks like a camera and towards the drivers side it looks like a microphone. There is a slot in the glove box that must be for an SD card. If I insert an SD card, will it energize the system?

You need to insert an SD card for it to actually record (but you have to press the icon first).

Cirrus8... Since you apparently either bought used or bought out of dealer inventory (you didn't order the car), you really need to take a look at the RPO Sticker located in the rear hatch under the carpet near the battery cover and compare the RPOs listed to this list: 2016 Corvette RPO Codes. You'll learn a lot of information about what your car has.

Bought used--700 miles. Window sticker is blank and "This vehicle is not for sale nor should it be displayed until a mfgrs price label with complete suggested retail price info is affixed" is printed thereon. I have looked at removing the carpet over the battery and it would be difficult without removing the rt side plastic panel. The carpet is brittle and tears easily. So, that is why I am asking a lot of question. Most options are evident, but others take a little more expertise to identify. I think that I have them all sorted out now. Thanks to all.

OK, you got one of the initial 2016 builds that were delivered without the window sticker due to pending price increase and/or some new options that were not priced. You should be able to get your local dealer to order you a valid window sticker at no charge.
