Default PDR Timing Inaccuracies

Is there a fix for the PDR lap Timing issue? Maybe a firmware update? The PDR on my 2016 Z jumped back 3.0 seconds this past Wednesday while on track.

Im aggravated that the price tag on this car is what it is; yet, I cannot run a full track session without overheating issues, and then the PDR cannot even keep accurate information.

You may find this post an interesting read: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1592158416

I'll add that a third leap second was added on 12/31/2016, thus the total difference is now 3 seconds, which is what you experienced.

Thanks for the link! It makes since. I wish that there was a settings window that displayed a log of communications between the car and satelites with time stamps of the timing adjustment updates. This way the driver would know what to expect before the start of their track session.

Tadge says that an update should be available Summer of 2017. Is there any information regarding its release?

Yes, it was released earlier this year. Only took them 2.5 years to fix.

The TSB # is 17-NA-013 dated February 1, 2017.
