Default Valet Mode

Has anyone left their car for 1-2 weeks in Valet Mode? With the PDR, what all will get recorded in Valet Mode? Only when it is driven?

I believe the valet mode is the same as the C7. It only runs when the ignition is on. While the power is off on the car, it is not recording. That was the way it was on my C7. I actually had my 15 minutes of fame with my C7 valet video. I was on all the major networks and also on Good Morning America.

The suspense is too much, what did you record to get your 15 minutes of fame?

A valet did an acceleration inside the parking structure. A valet did the same thing with my escalade- I had a video cam installed.
