Any display screen update I can do myself

so the 2017 c7z has a better screen response and resolution, I was told by the dealer that its just an update, and I honestly don't trust the dealers to give them my car

So anyone can point out how to update the screen and where can I get the update files

sorry, i didn't see these responses. If you are looking for the pdr update that makes the screen clearer than original, there is a sticky in the general discussion page and you ask someone to send you the files. If you are talking about something else, i don't think there is any other update.

hmmmm. They seem to have removed the sticky for some reason. I'm guessing either GM had a problem with the files being out there, or someone tried using the files and f-ed something up so it was taken down. I updated and don't see a problem. heres where the sticky was, but the thread is now closed: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-updating.html

I don't blame them under the circumstances, and considering whose software they're supposedly threatening by making updates easier for customers to install.

For those with older PDRs who need the update, read the thread and look for readers who have the software and offered it on off-site locations. It might still be available somewhere.
