Default PDR audio?

2015 2LT Z51
just re-read owners manual on PDR (again)

manual says this option has audio recording feature

used PDR for the first time today, records OK BUT no audio on playback

Yes, I know this section also has explanation of "TEEN" mode and I understand this is NOT really available, bur how about audio recording/playback?
or is this something else that didn't make it into production cars?

Thanks in advance for any help

Yes, I know for a fact it records audio because I was playing with mine the other day and was surprised how good the audio actually was.... It records in-car only so you can hear conversations, radio, etc... I had my radio loud and that's all I heard. Then I tried again with the radio turned down and I heard my voice talking to the toll attendant very clearly. You can also hear the exhaust very clearly, and it sounds great when you get on it. When I got out of the car and recorded I couldn't hear anything outside of the car. I'm not sure how to turn it on or off, but I would assume it's in the pdr options or settings somewhere. You'll find it.. It's such a cool feature.!

No audio when played back on your computer?

If so, try VLC, it's free.

I have to use VLC on my Mac as Quicktime won't play the audio. Tried various codecs but none work thus far. VLC works great.

Played on what? From where? Could just be a Mac issue.
Upload it to YouTube and then see if it plays audio fine.

Not from a Mac... I've tried VLC, but must be doing something wrong...

Upload it directly to YouTube - as original mp4 file. Then, play it back.
If it plays back fine, then you probably have a codec issue.
You are using Windows Media Player, I presume? Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or 10?
