I would be very interested in what you discover.

Default Here's the complete PDR video

I converted the PDR video to a larger format - here's the complete NCM delivery from my car's point of view

Thank you for the follow-up.

It seems the PDR video quality is not great. Is the recording resolution configurable by any chance?

I was planning on recoding the trip off Corvette Blvd when I pick mine up.


Funny to see all the patches at the end of the video on the asphalt. Seems like quite a few people have had spirited starts to their Corvette journeys from the museum.

Does everyone's PDR camera have the rounded off corners at the top? Mine has it. The videos that chevrolet released promoting the PDR didn't have them. I have an appointment scheduled this week to have mine looked at.

Mine has a black bar across the top and rounded off corner on the left side. I believe the camera is not aligned correctly. It is obvious if you look at the lens from outside the car, the black part at the top of the windshield is being filmed by the camera lens. If the camera were aligned better I am sure the black would go away in the video. I am quite disappointed with the quality of the video and even more so with the quality of the audio. Engine sounds and bass from the stereo seem to take over the audio. It is hard to hear and almost impossible to understand what the occupants of the car are saying. It is very garbled. I suppose a trip to the dealer is in order. Does anyone else have these complaints about the PDR quality. I have seen several on the Forum.

When will someone open a door and take out the side of a car or worse still...get hit?
That "guy" just happens to be Wendell Strode, the CEO of the NCM. You don't have anything to worry about.
