As long as you own a Corvette.
Chevrolet has introduced a new feature that enables Corvette owners to lock down most of the systems in their cars. So no more lying, cheating, stealing, joyriding valets to worry about.
[T]he Corvette Valet Mode is turned on through the settings menu and activated by entering a unique four-digit code. A confirmation entry of the code simultaneously locks the storage bin behind the center stack display, the glove box and disables the radio and infotainment system.
But there's more:
With the introduction of the industry-first Performance Data Recorder for 2015, Corvette drivers can also record HD video, in-car audio, and vehicle data - including speed, engine RPM, gear position and g-force - when Valet Mode is active.
The video can be viewed instantly on the Corvette's eight-inch color touchscreen when the car is parked, or downloaded to a computer.
This feature was initially aimed at enthusiasts who wanted to record Nurburgring-type videos of their track driving. But pretty quickly, Chevy figured out that the system could have additional uses.
Chevy also created a sum-of-all fears video to show Corvette owners exactly how Valet Mode can restore their ever-precarious peace of mind.
An unsuspecting Corvette owner pulls into an establish men that employs the dreaded valets.
