New C7 owner
I had another thread asking about the car. Then I swore it off cause it was really hard to get in/out. Then I found the seat mod. I should be ok now. It is a tight fit though for us fat guys
Previous car was a Charger so I had much more room. I'll get used to it. It's a base 2019 Stingray 7MT 1LT. Plenty for me. Silver 8500 miles. The dealer didn't budge from the $55K asking price, but I got $21K for my Charger, & it was local to me, & they gave me a year of service. Washes, & half off oil changes forever.
I was also able to get the extended warranty from Ally. I searched that before & that seemed to be what the dealers were giving. I should be good for 5 years 60K miles. That I had to pay for. Reading the manual tonight. I have to figure out how to get car play working. I don't have mem seats, & I read about the easy glide feature. That doesn't seem to work either. Not sure my trim has it. Also remote start. I'm not sure on that either. I couldn't get it to start no matter what buttons pressed. I'll get some better pics later.

Congrats! Get a rear spoiler on her.
1LT does not have: heated seats, cooled seats, memory seats, HUD, frameless rear view mirror, heated mirrors, front camera on 2019, upgraded Bose speaker system. I think it adds a Sub in the trunk space.

Ok thanks, I'm surprised the car play isn't wireless. I'll have to find how I can use that plug behind the dash to route a cable to my phone mount.

Once you pair car, iPhone to adapter you don’t have to do anything so I just plugged it in storage area out of site and forget about it !
With no cable being used there’s no problem concern with closing screen and screen doesn’t interfere with Bluetooth connection.

Hey you bought a twin of my car. You will love it. Unless there was a mid year change your car has bluetooth. I use android phone but there is no problem getting phone calls, music, or podcasts via bluetooth so no wire needed. I do need a wire to use the phone nav though. Realizing iphone may differ slightly here is how I do nav. I get nav running on the phone through the couple of stages until I get the moving map going. Then I plug in the wire. On the car 'Home' screen a button labeled a grey 'Projection' takes maybe 10 seconds and turns into a bright 'Android Auto'. Tap that and now the map is on the car display. BTW you can get nav running as above and then also get music or a podcast running at the same time.
