If you Google this, you'll get a lot of results. See post #32 for a partial/short list from link below. Most 2016 and all 2017-2019 had Android Auto/Apple Carplay. Although my Android Auto USB connection locked up frequently on my 2019 Grand Sport (annoying as hell while using Google maps). My Bluetooth connection on my 2015 Z never fails (use mostly for music and calls). Miss my phone apps being projected up on the bigger infotainment screen but don't miss the locking up, one bit. When I was looking for a Z I preferred a 2019 but the prices were higher than I wanted to pay (US $80k to 90k) and this 2015 had a lot of what I was looking for. More miles (40k) and not a perfect Carfax, needed a new splitter, rattling roof which I 100% fixed, etc. Z07, 3LZ, all exterior trim is exposed carbon. No track use so CC brakes still look like new. Fit what I wanted pay as well. I have a lot of hobbies so that's just $20k+ more I can spend on other toys. I don't track it.

8) Better rear diff with the ZR1’s spider gears
9) Better paint, fit and finish from the upgraded BG facility

the 2019s still use a standard reflection mirror and not a camera option. The 2015 will also not have any of the front parking cameras the 2019 could be optioned with.
