Default Maybe Helm Will Never Release A 2015 Manual

I always get the factory manuals for each of my vehicles.

I've been waiting for the 2015 manuals to come available at Helm for a year now.

I'm starting to think they may never print them.

I have a 2015 Z51. Is there really anything that would be different from the 2014 service manual?

There will not be a new manual for the 2015 models. They will release a supplemental manual for the A8 transmission. So you will still need the 2014 manual set. Also, the 2014 set already includes the info for the PDR which was a 2015+ feature.

They are pricey at 375.00, but when your stuck for information, they are worth every cent.

GM, or actually Delco, wants you to subscribe to the manuals: https://www.acdelcotds.com/acdelco/action/home

$20 for three day subscription is not bad, but it adds up quickly!

Yeah, I just like to have the manuals for bedside reading. I'd probably prefer a PDF version, but paper will do.

I just wish I'd gotten them at the "introductory" price before the ~50% increase.

This would be a good Christmas present for me.

i'm sure they make it so you can't download all the pages to a pdf? That would be too easy to spend $20 for all that info...

I have subscribed three times so car. So I could research the retrofit of the pull down latch, install a FAY CF dash and console, and get the pin outs for the dual front cameras. If you install PDFCreator, you can print the pages to a PDF for reference when you are working on the car. But the electrical diagrams are an SVG plug in. You can save them to a PDF but you cannot use the point and click to explode component views of course.

It is impossible to do the whole car. There are thousands, and thousands of pages.
