U didn't do ur home work right check the trunk under the corvette emblem it's used to open the trunk and access the Manual door release and the fuel cap if the battery dies!
@briansmobile1 you can, you need to put the fob in the little rectangular hole in the glove box button side toward the wheel i believe, that will allow you to start it
@bluebearbank247 The transponder transmits for YEARS. Chances of failure are slim. The battery for locking and unlocking the doors can die and you're ok. You can open the trunk and pull a latch to open the door and then you can start it.
@briansmobile1 NO MAN!!!!!!!! You can open the trunk with the key. Where is your rear licence plate lights there is the lock. And you can open your trunk. So this is the emergency key when your battery goes down!
nothings ever good enough to pleasee you guyz! its a fucking corvette who cares if the key is usefull or not just drive the fucking car thats whats important not what the key could do:S
@mr010tommy010 You're right. That is sloppy. There's a sacrifice in rigidity when you use lightweight plastics AND feel that visible screws are taboo I suppose.
@johnsousa1 Good luck starting it without the fob though. The car works off of a proximity sensor, the fob has to be inside the car for it to start. Nice try though.
The key is also used to reprogram the remote fobs. If you buy a new fob you place the old, working fob inside the car next to the shifter then put the key into the keyhole above the lisence plate and turn it quickly 5 times. Then you place the new fob in the slot inside the glove box to program it. You can also program new fobs with no working fob but it's a pain in the ass and takes more than half an hour.
the key also opens the trunk in case you didn't know there's a hole below the trunk over the license plate... or how did you planed to open the car if the battery ran out, you open the trunk and there's a hidden stick that when you pull it the door's jump out... although I didn't know about the lever to open the car from the inside, thanks for that tip... =)
Same dumb system for a z06 but my dome light comes on automatically as you walk towards the car at night. THAT KEY is for the girlfriend (at the time) and you give it to her for a false sense of caring about her,she can use the glovebox and feel special.very cheap replacement key as is the girlfriend,girlfriend gets mad and won't give you key back ,no big deal,pick up a new key at home depot for 75 cents. How exciting for the bimbos, good thinking. GM
@briansmobile1 Thank you Brian. Hopefully we can recoop some of our freedom for all in 2012. Your videos are informative and entertaining. Keep them coming! God bless.
@Freedomhawk1776 Thanks. Ya I'm really pulling for RON PAUL. He's miraculously braved the House with his spine and conscience in tact. Takes a heck of a man to pull that off.
So in other words if the corvette is a convertible and its all buttons then there is no work to be done to hijack it, you just hop in and push a button? Or is there a strange security system on it?
@fireballs450 There's a transponder. It wont start and OnStar will get the police after you. The best part is a secure place to stay and three meals a day.
@fireballs450 The owner has a transponder in his/her pocket.- the "key fob". It's an RFID or device that sends a low voltage radio frequency infrared signal to a receiver behind the dash. The signal enables the ignition system. It's kind of like those tags on merchandise that set off the alarm at Walmart when the clerk forgets to deactivate them or some one steals merchandise with a tag in it.
This video is why all of the cars (except for my 4runner) I have owned are from the 80s. I like a somewhat total control over what I'm driving. I don't like to feel as if I'm sitting in a circuit board; suffocated by wires.
the key is to open the car if the batt gose dead in the button my bosses xlr has that there is a little plastic cover under the back bumper. you pop that off and under that is a key hole you turn that and lift the trunk lid once you do that there is a little handle attached to a cable hiden in the side of the trunk that pops the door open
@smokey756T That's right- on this one it's vertical above the rear license plate. It's pretty cool, but no one carries the key any more with these systems. It's pretty ballsy to abandon the mechanical aspect and provokes a lot of options and questions in agency etc. Realistically you could have a transponder block initiated by the Police to kill your car to prevent a high speed chase and possibly save lives.. or super enable a future gestapo force to capture and Rodney King you. = O
recently i had to jump start a prius, easy system in comparison to this......which begs the question....can you jump start this car if the battery goes flat!! :))
I don't really like the concept. You could still have this but also the option to use the key would be nice. Everything being electronic is a bit hairy. If the car want's to take off like the Toyotas did, you can just shut it down with the turn of the key. I am wondering if the gear shift is actually connected to linkage, or is that electronic as well?
I knew it. After you showed in interior I either that it was for locking the trunk from the inside or the glove box. But its kind of useless, they should just make it a keypad for the glove box since everything else is touch.
Actually the key is how you get into a Corvette if the battery goes dead. It fits a lock on the hatch, right above the license plate. You open the hatch and there's a door release there.
As to how the car 'knows' it's owner - the key fob is programmed to the car. If you don't have the fob on you, or the wrong one - you are walking home.
@JohnzCarz Ya, I put that in the description. You are a smart guy! I would have a hide a key with a spare battery in it for the remote and maybe a set of jumper cables in the trunk.
@briansmobile1 Yup, my bad – skipped the description, that’s what I get for throwing out the instructions all the time. Good idea on the ‘hide-a-key’, probably will never leave you stranded, but it only takes once to make it worth it.
Fittingly, it only has a "Go Button" similar to the Mercedes CL500. And the Corvette can really go!! LOL I wonder how much a key costs at the dealership, if you lose your "glove box" key?
@Chris07860 Cars like this aren't a daily driver and are babied. They're lucky to see 100K miles. For these, with the convenience of leaving your key in your pocket and looking cool- it's fine. Any one with a wireing diagram and the will could steal it just as easy as any other car out there.
