Default 2016 SD Card Slot

I looked at an 2016 Corvette Z06. I noticed it did not have the SD Card slot for your music. Did they remove it and why? The radio is much clearer and looks great.

I have a 2015 and to my knowledge no change in the SD area, but the glove box holds the SD card for the PDR if equipped and in the center console a slot for the SD for music.

Do you actually own a C7 or are you just guessing about stuff like this?

that's not the glove box dude (if you were implying that, that was the glove box.) now admittedly I don't know if there's a SD slot in the actual glove box for '15 and up.

In the arm rest console there should be two USB ports and the SD Media slot.

Instrument Panel Storage = behind Nav screen
Glove Box = dashboard door in front of passenger seat
Console = Center of car to the rear of the gear shift selector Driver's right elbow usually plops there.

Ok, now we got terms.

PDR SD is in Glove box
Music SD is in Console (Along with 2 USB slots and a cigarette lighter plug)
USB port in Instrument Panel Storage.

That's the 2015, I'm going out on a limb and tossing that up as the 2016 too.

In the Z06 it had the two USB plugs and a Aux plug, but no SD card. Not sure when they stop doing it or if you guys are over looking it.

There are two USB ports, an
accessory outlet, and an SD card
reader inside. See Power Outlets on
page 5-4 and “Audio Players” in the
infotainment manual.

On my 2016, the console seems to only have a Power Outlet, and 2 USB ports. This is consistent with the 2016 Owners Manual.

If you look at the manual, it no longer mentions an SD card slot in the center console. That's annoying.
