Bash '16 Changes Besides Colors?
Where are the details from the bash as to model year changes? All the posts I've seen simply have the exterior colors and interior colors. Would like yo know if by chance anything fun is being added.

Do we know with certainty that details will be revealed tomorrow? On the Bash schedule on Friday is the following:
10:00am – 11:30am
S7: 2016 Announcement, Reveal, and Walk Around
I'm dying for details tomorrow but wonder if this is when we'll actually get them.

I'm assuming we may get some leaks tomorrow but nothing solid until Friday.

This schedule nugget has me intrigued:
10:45am – 12:15pm
S3: Using 7th Generation Navigation
Why would GM feel a seminar on this is necessary in the 3rd year of production? UNLESS something about that navigation has significantly changed. CarPlay?

I think you're probably right.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for CarPlay. I recall that one of the other forum members mentioned something about how he has been doing training on how to use the existing infotainment & navigation system. I believe he said he would be doing a session at the bash as well. So maybe that is his training class?

Hoping for some new wheel options too. There was some talk of this recently, so it's more than a hope.

The reason I brought this up is to help decide on moving forward with my very early allocation on a '16 Z06 or simply keep my '14 Z51. Not really interested in the Z06 if no real changes are coming.

You'll get your answer over the next 2 days, right now very little solid information has been leaked.

My order is still stuck at 1100, if Android Auto is announced in addition to CarPlay, I may wait a few more months for a 2016. I'm a techie, so yeah it's that important because I know it will be pretty expensive to retrofit a new navigation system.

Thats where the industry is going however GM does not move quickly. The design of the C7 NAV is locked except for minor changes. Newer car models may get CarPlay but only when newly introduced. The C6 NAV stayed the same for 6 years except for adding MP3 playback. I can't see GM changing NAV functionality at this point.
