I also have a 2019. Mine behaves as Makitso's, it does not automatically start a new segment. I have heard one other person on here say theirs does automatically start a new segment after the first one reached the 4GB limit. I wonder why some do, and most don't? There is plenty of space on my card for it to automatically record new segments.

What year is your Vette? And have you updated the map software or has the
dealer update any software that you know of?
LOL , you don't drive it in valet mode do you?
I have never had my car at the dealer, so never used the valet mode, but I
wonder if the 99 minute stop applies to valet mode?

I believe there was an update for the 2015's because valet mode also recorded voice, which could be a felony in some municipalities.

If it gets full I just delete the files while in the car kind of time consuming because each segment has to be deleted individually

These are different cards then? Mountainears', and Jmhornz'?

I need to leave my 2017 w/PDR for service. But not without the PDR locked in on valet mode to babysit for me. So, I need to get a card quickly.

Hey Joe, do you have a Best Buy nearby? I've even seen them in CVS and Walgreens, although they are a little more expensive. Hope you find one that works soon. Remember, it must be formatted FAT32 to work in the PDR in Valet mode.

Thanks for all your advice. It was very helpful. I ordered a SanDisk Ultra 32 GB Class 10 SDHC UHS-I Memory Card up to 80 MB/s. Delivered in one day. The cost on Amazon (free shipping with Prime) was $6.60 plus tax. I just tried it and it works perfectly. I didn't have any formatting issues. It picks up the video and sound of the engine. Sounds fantastic. It indicates that I have 765 minutes to record. I'll see if I get all that out of the disk. So far, it is a cool feature of the C7 that I didn't think I'd use. On Sunday, a Buck jumped onto the highway right in front of me. The car braked flawlessly. I wish I had the disk yesterday. Again, thank you for all your good advice. Very much appreciated.
