Hard to see turn signal arrows in dash display?
I really wish they would have put the green arrow indicators at the bottom of the main Inst. Panel (IP) display instead of the very top.
When the steering wheel is tilted downward, it completely blocks my view of either signal indicator if I go around a turn that doesn't go far enough to trip the release.
Also, it would be nice if the directional indicator appeared in the HUD, am I missing something or is that not possible either.
When driving with vert top down (pretty much always), and music playing, I'll only realize my blinker is going after the warning pops up on IP after like a quarter mile.
Thanks!

I think if you read your own post you might see your concerns with the turn signal indicators are more personal than flawed design.

Why they removed the turn signals from the HUD is a mystery to me, they could have at least left them on one of the HUD modes.
The way I have the wheel and seat adjusted I cant see the turn signals on the cluster. Not sure its a 'flaw' but its annoying for me.

This would have been a good question for "ask Tadge" I wonder why they took the signal indicators out of the HUD. They added a bunch of useful info, but took out the turn signal indicators. Seems like an oversight that they could easily remedy.

I agree with the OP. The steering wheel can easily block the turn signal indicators. They should have left them in the HUD. I also agree that there are way too many speedos on this car.

Alas, if I was only 6"-8" shorter, I could probably see them through the steering wheel opening but I guess I'll have to duck my head down or leave the steering wheel at its upmost setting.
Thanks for the comments/feedback all!

I see no reason why they could not put the turn signal indicators high up on the dash maybe built into the edge of the dash pad or just under the pad above the instrument cluster.
Anywhere you wouldn't have to look down into to the instrument cluster to see them

But, more seriously, this is one issue that the C7 took a step backward from the C6. The HUD is not personalizable, like it was on the C6. It doesn't differentiate between driver 1 and 2. It also lacks quite a bit of information that the C6 would give you if you scroll through modes.

At the Corvette Bash and at Corvettes at Carlisle, there was an engineer there doing a dash survey. These are the same issues I brought up with him in the discussion. I believe he was the engineer for this subject. He wrote it down and seemed interested.
I would suggest you look for that survey being taken at major events and get this message across.
I also suggested that they change the huge Gold Icon on the dash when you have the Speed Limit showing on the dash in the Information selection. Or at least change the color to something that does not try to get your attention.
