I bought my C6 convertible just as I bought my C7 convertible, as soon as they were released, so I am guessing my C6 fob being the original design may have prevented me from seeing and knowing that a later revision was optional offered or substituted. The trunk mounted cigarette lighter-style socket is described as a charging port and accessory port in the C7 owners manual. I highly doubt that it is designed to handle anywhere near the amperage for a quick start but certainly can easily handle the 1.5 amp current provided by my CTEK charger. |
