Using PDR as a daily dash cam?
Can the 15 be used a daily dash cam? I live in SoCal and most drivers are crazy and I really want to be able to document any idiots out there.
Thanks,
Mark

I am reasonably certain that a C7 will attract idiots as well as genuine admirers.
If it is not documented it never occurred.

'15' Stingrays with PDR should be a big hit in Russia based on all the Youtube videos showing really stupid and scary driving/wrecks. I think everyone has a GoPro stuck to their windshield.
Oh wait, I think part of the current economic sanctions is no Stingrays can be sold to Russia.

I believe you can record up to 800 minutes on a 32 gig SD card. That's the only place the data is recorded. If you don't want someone to see the data, don't give them the SD card. If you need it to prove your innocence in an accident and you're recording all of you driving, then you have it if you need it.

Definitely not a court room defense tool.
And why not? Say the other driver runs a red light with no witnesses and says you ran the light. Your word against his. I'd want the video.

My bet is this is how 90% of the vettes with this system will be used (dash Cam) it was a nice concept but should have been a stand alone system for those that will use it for what it was designed for IMO. Having it bundled with the GPS is nothing short of convenient for Chevy...again IMO

It won't record automatically, but you are looking at a maximum of three button presses to get it recording. The Home hard key, then PDR and Start recording on the screen. It does not lock out the rest of the display, and you can go back to using the stereo or navigation.

Used mine today for the first time and it paid off trying to get house financial info for my daughter person calls while I have it on records all the info I'm given so I can write her an email with the info.

Each time a new recording starts it is a new file.
If you were in an accident remove the sd card and eat it, if it was your fault, also chew it up real good
