I’ve noticed similar radio problems in both my C7 stingray and Buick LaCrosse. I need to say I like both my cars for what they are. However I feel my BMW 328xi has the most reliable radio/Bluetooth set up. It works well 100% of the time and the control **** on the center console eliminates jumpy finger control issues. The Harmon Kardon is light years ahead of the Bose radios in my GM products. Just an opinion. The 2017 Lacroose AWD has every option and is a fine everyday car for the money. The vette is a 2LT Z51 and is great for its price as well. The BMW is unlike either card and is just plain sweet.
Opinions mean nothing but that’s mine.

The 'infotainment center' in my 2018 Trax is better than the one in my 2018 GS. The Vette display does go up and down though.....

Agree that this is not a strength of GM but they are also not alone either. The setup in my 17' Armada is worse. The BT connection takes forever at times and then app's will lock up and not restart. Not much different than my experience with the Vette.

Good info from everyone. So maybe it means our vettes our lower end rather than higher end at a premium price? Hmmmm
