Default PDR problem?

Try removing and inserting the SD card, I don't know how it behaves if it thinks the storage card isn't present.

I have a 2015 Z06. Mine did that on and off for a couple of months. Reprogramming and software updates did not fix it. The dealer finally installed a complete new infotainment unit under warranty and it has been working fine since. I think I read somewhere on here that several of the earlier C7s had faulty units.

Mine did that. The wire to the screen comes loose from time to time from the screen being raised and lowered. I can pop the little oddly shaped piece of trim off of the side of the console (about where my right knee is), reach in and push the wires back up towards the screen, and it's fine.

The first time this happened I took it to the dealer. They kept it for several days tinkering with it, reprogramming, etc with no luck. I finally got tired of waiting and figured it out myself in just a few minutes. It's been fine ever since. Granted, I don't lower the screen as much as I used to. Seems to be a bad connection design.
