HD Radio for '18 But Removed For '15-'17
The original question is here.
FYREANT asked:
In the 2014 release of the C7 we had HD radio as a standard feature. In years 2015, 2016, and 2017, HD radio was discontinued. Now, HD radio is making a return to the C7 with the 2018 release. Can you let us know why the 2015-2017 releases did not have HD radio and if any improvements have been made with the 2018 re-release of the HD radio feature in the C7?

Indexing Spark Plugs
The original question is here.
grcor asked:
Every year or so the topic of indexing spark plugs comes up on the Forum. Some say don’t bother as it makes no difference at all, others say it will add a couple of horsepower and to position the spark plug gap towards the intake valve or position the spark plug gap towards the exhaust valve. I know that when you are designing a new engine a lot of super computer time is dedicated to combustion chamber design and spark plug placement. Could you please ask the engineers who are involved in combustion chamber design if they would comment on indexing spark plugs? We would like to know if it makes a difference, if so how much of difference (a few, 5, 10 horsepower?), and what is the correct orientation of the spark plug in the combustion chamber. If possible a picture or drawing showing the correct orientation of spark plug in the combustion chamber would go a long way to eliminate any confusion coming from a written description.

HUD Polarization
The original question is here.
southphilly asked:
Having problem seeing HUD in my C7 with my polarized sunglasses. Polarization is such that mostly horizontal light is transmitted. Polarization in HUD is obviously mostly vertically polarized.
Is this intentional or just a design/manufacturing effect?
