Someone has also posted a video of the operation here:

All Hertz Adrenaline collection vehicles include free Sirius/XM satellite radio. Most of the Corvettes I've rented from Hertz over the years have also had Neverlost installed in them. If you are charged for satellite radio, definitely ask them to reverse the charge as it's included free with the entire Adrenaline collection. And if you didn't request Neverlost on your reservation, again you should be able to have the charges refunded if the car happens to have it.

The Escalade is in the Prestige collection and all of these vehicles include both Sirius XM satellite radio and Neverlost free of charge. It can be a bit confusing as the Corvette originally started in the Prestige collection and then was moved to the Fun and then Adrenaline collection.

When Hertz first started renting Corvettes in 2007 they were fully loaded with the Bose audio, heads up display, etc. I'm not sure why they have switched over to the base model for 2012. I would encourage anyone who has rented one to send Hertz your feedback. Maybe if enough people write in they'll start renting the higher trim levels again.
