The thread title says it all. I'm referring to the update that is supposed to improve contrast and color saturation on the played back image. I've checked with all of the sources available to me and can't find any evidence that the update that was announced a couple of months ago has actually been made available. Does anyone here know otherwise? If so, any info (e.g. TSB number) would be much appreciated. Thx.

While at the dealership the end of last week I had the service manager try to find something out on this very topic. He spent about 30 minutes getting shuffled around various GM tech personnel but everyone was clueless.

I don't have a TSB number but I understand any PDR "update" is also going to disable sound so that the Valet mode won't record sound and possibly violate state law in states that require letting people know there voice is being recorded. Not sure what an update will do to improve resolution. The camera in the 2014 model year was 720P, not 1080.

It's well known that the update will not affect resolution; it will improve color saturation and contrast.

I didn't think 2014's had an option for PDR?

There is a letter sent to owners of 2015s about the PDR/Valet update and dealers have in in their DB, the one to improve the picture has not been released as of 6/3 when it is released is anyones guess, There is no PDR in the 2014 only a backup camera.

#PI 1493 Poor Performance Data Recorder Video Playback clarity (June 16, 2015) , Models 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Equipped with RPO-UQT (Performance data recorder) is posted on C7 ZO6 tech link (PDR Video quality flash done to my car).
Can anyone please tell me how I can copy the above PI from that link or can someone repost it here in C7 General discussions in such a manner that we can make a hard copy of that file to show to our service dealers who have never heard of this software upgrade.
My question is: how do we copy a post from this forum? Shift CTRL C (the normal copy procedure) does not work.
Anyone, please help. I am not tech savy as some of you are out there.
Thanks Heidi

I had my C7Z in for this update and the A8 update (which worked well I must say). My mechanic had a tough time getting the update to take. He was calling Chevy tech and will try again next week. Has anyone else run into this?

I would like to know more about the A8 update? Did not hear about it yet.

jcuff

When I brought my car in I told the mechanic about a "clunking" sound I was getting at times when coming to a complete stop and the tranny downshifting into first gear. he said there have been multiple A8 updates/calibrations. The latest one was from a couple of weeks ago (I believe). It fixed my issue, and the tranny feels like it is shifting better (gut feeling).

Would I need this A8 update? mine is a early build 9-15-14.

Thanks; your instructions worked perfectly. Good luck with your update. Just got word from my dealer in Melbourne that they can do this update. Have it tentatively scheduled for 14 July (the week I recommended) and Service Dept Mgr. said , it may take a few hours; will get 2nd oil change at same time; so glad pix quality is so much better with update. Valet voice will also be eliminated since it is illegal in Florida to record without consent.

Are these pictures before and after the GM/PDR update or you adjusted it yourself using Adobe?

Blue Demon

These are obviously exactly the same pictures, the second was not taken after the PDR software update. Very deceiving to post them as before and after IMO.

Jay_Davis

Well, after the update, the picture is improved but certainly not as good as any of the "after" pictures I've seen. The brake readings still are not fixed either.

The other thing that was bad before the update was the camera's auto-gain in some lighting conditions, but I haven't had the kind of conditions that caused it to have problems yet, so I can't tell if that's been improved.

Can someone advise me why my PDR recording had no sound? My c7 was delivered late March. I hear this discussion of valet mode audio being deleted with the video update , heck I don't have any audio now? I am in Ca and my car was sold and delivered in Ca. Thanks, for anyone with the facts.
