Red X Update?
Can someone tell me if ALL C7s with Nav and PDR have the Red X issue? Has GM at some point started to correct the issue at the plant? Does someone who has taken delivery of a newly manufactured car with the above features not have the issue?

One would think that with all the threads about this, it would have been realized that the problem is pretty much restricted to 2015s with the PDR

Hummm. Did anyone notice LB001's question sounds eerily similar to Dracla's questions about the exact same subject? Me thinks Clark Kent just might be Superman. Naaaaa, probably my imagination. 
In any case...
Assuming the Nav Fix has trickled down to GM's assembly line, owners responding to your question could have bought a '15 C7 that had been sitting on the lot for awhile and not undergone the factory assembly line Nav fix, OR their C7 may have just rolled off the delivery truck and had the mod done. You may want to edit your OP post and add, "... and when was your C7 built?"
Another option is to just ask GM: http://www.chevrolet.com/contact/chat.html
By the way, in case you haven't seen my previous comment on the subject, my '15 was infected with the Red-X Nav itch from mile #6 and was cured very quickly by my dealer during its first oil change. No biggie.

Mine was built on 11-20-2014 and delivered to my dealer on 12-08. So it was not sitting On the lot. I agree, it shouldn't be a big deal however they want replace my onstar module first because my onstar is also not working. I'm not sure that is the fix, because my nav is showing me out in the Pacific Ocean.

I did inquire about NEWLY manufactured cars, to see if the factory might have started the fix.

What might be interesting is if very recently built C7s (built in Nov or Dec) say that the factory has done its job well, and there is no Red X problem any more.

Mine has this, and the dealer in going to fix it (they say, several threads). GM did NOT want to send the dealer the fix, wouldn't even admit the issue exists, even when I supplied the bulletin. Gm eventually admitted they were wrong and send the fix instructions to the dealer.
Interesting to note, if you have this problem, start a PDR recording for a minute or two, then stop recording. Go to the NAV, wait 30secs or so, PRESTO! Red X disappears and GPS updates the location. So far it's worked every time.
