Please let us know what TSB# they used to update your car. I will take mine in for my next oil change.

Day #2 Still at dealer, GM Tech tried more things today with no luck, Now it is also in GM Engineering hands, May need new Modules? I hope they figure it out soon, I suggest contacting your dealer or GM maybe if more of us complain GM may speed up the process? Will report back tomorrow.

Picking up car today, Still NO timers. GM Engineering working on this issue could take a week or Two? Will give feed back once I have more info.

Wow, surprised a software update is this exhausting of an effort!

Our '16 3LT Z51 has the timer, can't explain why, simply letting folks know at least one '16 has the timer. I ran a 0-60 last week when we had no snow in Colorado.

I just bought a 2014 last month and tested the timer last night- it was awesome!! I got it to 5.0 and I'm still shaking!! What does it take to get to 3.8? It must feel like the space shuttle!!!

So far on my PDR I have hit a best of 3.4, a few on here have hit 3.0. That is with my Z06. I want the Timers on the DIC to perform as designed. Hopefully the GM program engineers can figure it out, or give me a new computer or?? There are several of us on the same boat.

Posting this video as a reference for dash options those with early 2016 builds have. Lap timer but no Performance timer.

I have played around with Ford clusters. Features like that are typically in the cluster firmware and dealer tools can't touch cluster firmware. The reason being if they can flash firmware then they can also potentially alter odometers. Dealers don't want to have that capability anywhere on their premises.

Any ideas how to get to it to show up as an option under the performance menu? Did they take it off for 2016's?

Below is his:



Mine never will show that on the scroll, it skips the highlighted two options below. Manual says it should. The term "performance timer" only shows up on p.100 also.

Isn't it amazing what one will find by reading the owners manual?

It's also amazing what you can find out by reading the thread. The manual tells you how to start the timer but it doesn't work on early 16s.

Was the fix just a flash? I don't want them taking dash apart.
