I guess we'll see how it looks when I get my oil changed next week.

Any idea when the update will be ready? Will we have to go to a dealer to have it installed?

The article says "in the next few weeks". Yes, I'm sure it will require a trip to the dealer for the update.

Call me a skeptic, but how do you get a before an after picture of the PDR from the road that shows the exact same image? It appears to me the one of the two images has just been doctored.

I could be wrong though.

Car is at dealer this week (yes, this week to try and resolve GPS issue). I've sent note to determine if the GPS update includes the PDR or if the PDR is available now or when.

My dealer's shop foreman read the same article and called GM but couldn't find out anything about a release date.

Wow this will be excellent! I like the PDR but must admit I was disappointed by the quality - this looks like a nice improvement!

What is the GPS issue? My GPS shuts down and restarts periodically.

Nice, I have been rather disappointed in the quality of the cam.

Great. I just had a software update last week to fix some glitches in the Infotainment system, leaving me with the false notion that I was current, but I guess currency is a fleeting state and I'll have to schedule another one soon.
