A NASA-developed insulation called Aerogel is used on the transmission tunnel.
Many owners concur that the center tunnel in the C6 can get toasty, and with the C7 now locating the exhaust in an even tighter space, the potential to exacerbate the problem is very real. To combat this, Chevrolet is using insulation made from Aerogel, a material developed by NASA for use in space suits. Considered for years to be the lightest solid material in existence, Aerogel is 99.8 percent air (thereby replacing the liquid portion of a gel with a gas), yet it insulates 39 times better than the best fiberglass. The C7’s tunnel has a 10-mm (0.4-inch) layer of an automotive grade version of the stuff applied to its sides, and another 5 mm (0.2 inch) on top. Hip, style-conscious owners may want to wear vintage space-suit pants whenever possible.

I installed a thermal barrier all along the interior tunnel using a stay cool dynomat type of product. This helped drop temps in the center console a decent amount. Then I purchased one of these as well. The two combined makes a huge difference in center console temps on my C6 Z06. Great product, would purchase again!

I have been looking for exactly this! I have an Android Auto system and connect my cell phone directly into the USB port and put it in the center console. It's gotten so hot in there the phone has shut off.
Order being placed today!
