PDR problem, can't find SD card
Is there another SD card slot besides the one in the console glove box? I've tried several formatted SD cards but PDR continues to say"no SD card". What am I missing?

The slot you need is in the glove box. Also be sure not to lock the card in the adapter if you are not familiar with how it works! That keeps it from being read.

None of the Corvettes come from the factory with an SD card. The '14 and '15 models had an SD slot in the console AND one in the glovebox but the '16 models only come with one slot and it's in the glovebox and can only be used for recording with the PDR.

Thanks, I didn't think they did. I'll order one before I get my car.

Now that's just great. So did they add a USB slot or something to make up for the one-and-only music SD? I guess the bean counters triumphed again, saving the General 50¢ per car for the nixed SD slot. What next.

I think the OP was just confused about the location of the SD Card Slot for the PDR, which is in the lower left corner of the glove box. But even with the SD card in that slot, you will get the "No SD Card" message on the PDR unless the card is formatted (FAT32 or NTFS) *and* if the little read only/write protection lock tab is in the off position (pointed up... toward the top of the card).
