Oh, you're right. I spotted a couple of differences I hadn't noticed, like the person at what looks like a trash bin and an oncoming car in the background. Quite a color change from the original software.

How will the upgrade be effected? And no charge, I'm hoping?

Looks like my car was built ~1 mo too early lol

That is big improvement of picture quality. There was a problem of C6Z taillights showing up in PDR videos, was this issue resolved?

So how will we be notified to upgrade our current Z's? Do we contact our dealer?

It also changes your steering angle after the upgrade.

Looking forward to the update!

Has there been an actual bulletin or GM release of this upgrade? Checked with my local dealership on Sat, 4/18, they knew nothing about it and couldn't find anything in their system.

I just called my dealer and they have as usual NO CLUE to any PDR software updates. When will all dealers be given this update??? Will a TSB # be assigned to it??

Default PDR upgrade

John, I stopped at dealership today and talked to Corvette tech, he knew nothing about it nor could he find anything thru their online computer system. Go figure.

Default All hail tadge!

Great job providing those of us who jumped on the ZO6 bandwagon early with a software upgrade! Thanks for acting on this reasonable suggestion - I am sure that you get all sorts of suggestions on a daily basis - I would hazard a guess that the vast majority are way out there and not likely to make it to Bowling Green. Keep up the great work!

Did you miss the part where he said "in the next few weeks"?

Default PDR vs iPhone

I'm looking forward to the PDR Software update .

I ran both the PDR and my Old iPhone App- Harry's Lap Timer which is a really great app. The WiFi OBDII link lags and locks up occasionally but I think it has a couple features PDR 3.0 could have like auto start, track POI's etc

PDR=

I guess there is an upside to ordering a vette late in the model year (my TPW is 5/25), so the fix should already be incorporated!

Just got off the phone with my Dealership - they didn't know anything about the issue, or an upcoming fix. They think that we will receive a letter in the mail when the upgrade is available. I hope it is available soon - I am really loving the Vette and the PDR - Great job GM!

We need to stay on top of this, in case our dealers let it drop ; I personally am very interested in the improvement of PDR.
