Played A Prank On My Chevy Dealer's Service Writer Today
Here’s what happened. I took the Z06 in to my Chevy dealer for minor service today. After I had given the service writer my list of desired repairs I told him I had one final issue. I started the car and asked him to listen carefully, then I pressed the visor button that I programmed to actuate the Sunset Orange Creations One Button Exhaust Commander. He heard the exhaust get louder. Then I pressed the button again and he heard the exhaust get quiet. At which point I said (wearing my best poker face), “I don’t understand why my visor button would affect the sound volume of my exhaust!”
The service writer had me cycle the exhaust a few more times to see if this was really happening. He looked totally bewildered, just shook his head, and then began to write down the complaint. At that point I said “wait a minute, stop writing, I’m just messing with you…” Then I told him about the Exhaust Commander. We both had a good laugh about my little prank.

Robin,
Let's hope your car is worry free forever as your service writer may want payback and you'll never believe him.
You reminded me of a story:
There were three people in a car once that parked next to my Z06 at night. I was inside a storefront watching. The driver went to hit his FOB to lock the car and as he did, I hit mine to turn the marker lights on. This went on for about 4 minutes as he looked around and saw nobody.
Nice ploy!
I may have to try that with my remote exhaust FOB too.
Oh the childish games we play.

I hope I get an opportunity to try your prank! Actually, I'm not too worried about payback.
Even though it wasn't my usual service writer, he had a great sense of humor.

Youre sooo bad! 
I know that people have had issues with the comp. mode button opening up the butterflies.... the service writer must have really been puzzled when it was the visor buttons!
Glad your enjoying the Exhaust Commander and have found another use for it..... Entertainment!

I did that with a 2002 C5 that I use to have. I told the service manager (cool guy) that when you shift into second, and floored it, the car fell flat on it's face. So off to the test drive with me in the passenger seat. Nice and easy through first, then he shifts into second and floors it....and all hell breaks loose......I left the nitrous on.
You should have seen the look on his face!
