BSD Question or updates
In follow-up to my earlier posting, BSD has now happened 4 times since delivery 3 weeks ago. It has happened when I am on cell phone and it has happened when listening to music. When on the connected cell phone, the Bluetooth link between phone and car is lost. However, when listening to XM radio, the sound continues to play although there is nothing on the screen. I'm still convinced this is a programming problem and not a switch issue. However, I just drive these things, I don't program them!

I was informed a few months ago by GM Cust Service and my dealer a new or upgraded infotainment system would be ready late February or early March and they would replace my faulty unit with similar concerns you note above. Just happened to me at lunch today once again.
Just wondering if anyone has had this corrected successfully to this point? Thanks VIN 1631.

"Backfire" during full throttle acceleration shifts
Has anyone else experienced a backfire or bang noise when shifting during full throttle acceleration with the six speed auto? Is that a problem with the software for the VVT? Can the program be "Re-booted" at the dealer or would an aftermarket chip adjustment take care of it?

Not a big deal but wanted to mention the issue I was having with my memory seat. No, this is not the issue that the M7s have as I have an A6. The easy exit was working fine but all of a sudden it stopped setting back to the #1 position when I started the car. In fact it would jerk a little to move but then stop. Finally figured out that I reset the exit memory to recline the seat a bit more. When you fully recline the seat it rubs a bit on the back console/side. I think this was being detected as something in the way and would stop the memory seat from returning to the appropriate position. Once I tilted the seat forward where I could no longer hear the rub and reset the exit position, everything is back to normal. SJ

They had my car for 3 days. I'll assume part of that was waiting for the new unit to arrive. I can't tell you if the replacement unit is the same or an upgraded unit. It looks identical to the original unit but hopefully the bugs have been fixed.

New Owners Help Identify and Sollve Problems
I was just wondering....
Seems to me that this string would be a great one for GM-Corvette engineering to follow to see what people are seeing and thinking.
There is some dang valuable posts on this string. Does GM follow these?

You should be able to get the emblem fixed under your warranty. Thanks for the info.

Interesting, I have seen this post a number of time. But my seat has no emblems that stick out on it. But I got stock seats also. This seems like a law suit waiting for a class action assembly of owners.

Revs issue
Picked up Laguna blue Friday...On drive home, I noticed at idle, revs would drop (just a little) and then pick back up. At 23-25mph, car would bog down, NPP would shut off, and then would pick back up. Same thing happened at 43-45mph then resume OK. 2nd 14 Vette, (long story). Put 821 miles on 1st and it ran like a dream! Dealer seems stumped! I've seen 3 other similar post, but I haven't found any follow up on this forum. Any thoughts?

VIN 00767 Took my car in Monday. They ordered the unit and installed it on Tuesday! I asked them how long they needed the car and they said an hour to an hour and a half. I returned in an hour and a half and car was done! After two days, it is working properly! Great service from Vann Gannaway Chevrolet in Eustis, FL!
