    hardwiring the V1 radar detecter

    Have found the C7 is different! First, there is no fuse panel inside the C7, there is one in the engine compartment and one in the rear, under the mat, near the battery. Getting the mat up is not as easy as it sounds! The right corner comes up with minor difficulty and you can see the...

    hardwiring the V1 radar detecter

    Hard to use the mirror power since no access and GM says the wires (that are all inside) are not "tap friendly!" I tried to tap into the passenger sun visor mirro light. It is also not "tap freindly" as it instantly tripped the breaker twice! All wiring was correct and the 2 amp fuse was...

    Bugs

    Bug and Tar Remover with Wax Some of the responses to your question must come from folks who don't live n the country! I live in the South; 16 miles from town and starting in April bugs are a major issue when driving fast (why else do you have a Corvette!) I had purchased a product at a car...

    Choose your weapon: Electronic countermeasures - what is in your arsenal?

    In fact they no longer are using lights on top of their cars in our area! You just see flashing blue light coming from the grille etc, when they stop someone. Hard to pick out a local from the front or back of their car! Jerry

    Choose your weapon: Electronic countermeasures - what is in your arsenal?

    Sounds interesting! I'll add to the suggestions given above however; Y'all may be able to say that to a cop in the PNW but try that in SC where I live and I'll "gar-un-tee" your tail will be hauled in for something! Jerry

    Choose your weapon: Electronic countermeasures - what is in your arsenal?

    Agree with what you are saying and your suggestions. However just had an incident that my ESCORT 9500ix that saved me a ticket! (Had ESCORT upgrade my 9500i to an ix, with the 9500ix you can download camera traffic light and speed trap locations from their web site!) Was pulling onto a 4...

    Question: Another Key Fob Question

    Check Out Your Cell Phone Had similar problem in this sense. Car would open but would not start. Removed Key Fob and all worked fine. Found out after this happened several times the key fob was in the same pocket as my cell phone! Check out your owners manual. My 2008 manual says "Check...

    Question: Another Key Fob Question

    Hi, First pull out the key. Manual doesn't say that but you can then use a screwdriver to pry the two sections apart. If you don't you would need a shape knife with a stong blade. By the way in support of my other post on not keeping the key fob and cell phone in the same pocket-just had the...

    Question: Another Key Fob Question

    I Was Starting to Wonder If It Was Me! Hi, Thanks for the reply. Surprised we haven't seen more posts on the subject. Glad you observed the same thing. Perhaps these posts will help others. As the GM Owners Manual says the system works at radio frequences. Jerry

    Question: Another Key Fob Question

    Validated My Previous Finding July 2009, Have validated the above previous post made months ago. Have gotten the "No Key Fob" message 3 or 4 more times. Everytime the Key Fob was in the same pocket as my cell phone! Took it out of the pocket and all was fine! It has not happended other times...

    Question: Another Key Fob Question

    Hard to Remove Hi, Mine was very hard to remove the first time as well. Had to push hard on the little button on the side, then pull with a lot of effort. Took several tries before it came out. I would let the dealer try. If they break it with a plyers they buy the new one! Jerry

    Question: Another Key Fob Question

    I Have Had Similar Problem Several Times Hi, See you've tried everything! I have a 2008 and recently had this happen. I, as you did, had a long distance check of the panic alarm and it worked well. Since the car is about a year old I thought I would check the battery anyway. Did that with a...

    bug and tar remover not working

    Thanks for the tip. Ocationally I get some spots that are hard to remove, will try the WD-40. Do like the Turtle Wax Bug and Tar remover with wax. It is great for the normal bugs which I get every time I drive this time of year here in the country in SC . Maybe I'm going too fast, but why have...

    bug and tar remover not working

    Must be better Bugs in Indiana! Guess there must be smaller less acidic bugs in Indiana than SC! I have tried a number of products including one that is sold only by mail in a aerosole spray can. This is the only one that works for me with little effot. It's not unusual to have several quarter...

    bug and tar remover not working

    This Products Works Well! In the South we have lots of bugs in the summer. My 2008 Velocity Yellow Vette looks terrible with red bug splats! I looked at may products and found this Product works great. I keep a spray bottle on the bench in the garage in front of my car and spray bug splats...

    dual mode exhaust switch

    Agree, I Like My Simple Mechanical Switch I Agree, I like my simple $3 mechanical switch. Did use an $8 Add-A-Circuit to make installation easier and to retain the fuse. To each his own. For DIY folks you can download 19 "How To Do" PDF's at my Vette site about the mods made to my 2008...

    Choose your weapon: Electronic countermeasures - what is in your arsenal?

    Sounds good accept in our area they make money by setting up locations on a rural road going from 55 to 35 in not very obvious or logical from a hazard standpoint! Some communities hire cops for the weekend to make money on out or towners going to the beach! Instant on laser can't be detected...

    Choose your weapon: Electronic countermeasures - what is in your arsenal?

    Love My Passport 9500i Installed a 9500i in my 2008 coupe. The feature I like most is I have programed speed trap areas and even school zones to remind me to be more alert. Mounted it on the passenger visor with power from the mirror. Have showed how to wire in a free download on my web...

    "Mini" Hitch for C6

    When I purchased the 08 Vette had to sell my pick-up. No regrets but how do I carry a 4X8 sheet of plywood or lawn mulch home? Found a light weight Trailer at Harbor Freight (150 pounds with 12" wheels) but no hitch for an '08 especially with an NPP option so desigend and built one! It weighs...

    Exhaust bipass

    A remote relay can work but decided a simple switch is better. It retains the fuse and cost about $15 using a simple to install Add-A-Circuit. No changes to the Vette wiring are needed. All either do is disconnect the electric part of the circuit which closes the butterflys, which keeps them...
