2 things I've noticed after finally putting 1200 miles on my new ZR1..
1. When I turn my cooled seat on the for passenger side I can hear the fan turn on. When I turn it on for the driver side I don't hear it and it doesn't really get cold.
2. My heads up display seems like it is crooked. It isn't straight up and down like my 16 Z06 was.
Has anyone else had these problems??

The seat fan only moves cabin air through it. Not a/c specific air so it doesn't really get cold. You can put the a/c on bilevel and it helps a little, but then you lose some of the dash a/c that really helps the driver more than the seat fan can to cool the cabin down asap.
On the HUD I kinda noticed the same thing. I think it has more to do with the hood of the car being much taller due to the larger blower. I just keep my MPH and speed readout there. They are slightly staggered so it doesn't look as bad. My car is my DD so that serves me a little better.

OK copy that. Both my Z06 and my ZR1 seem to be a little finicky when they want to. Sometimes mine don't come on at all. Especially when it's been sitting out in the hot sun parked at my office. Of course when you want them the most. I'm not taking either of mine to a dealer for such a small issue, especially when they won't do it consistently. Many times they make something worse than what you take it in for and it's always a headache dealing with that.

Nothing dumb about that at all, but I get your point. Please let us know what happens with your car. Having more info about it will help us all.

are you sitting in the d/s when you turn it on and not in the p/s when you turn it on. If so try turning the d/s on while sitting in the passenger seat and then turn the p/s on and see what you get.

No need to register or anything, You can download a .pdf and it is searchable (yeah, I'm also too lazy to open the glove box and read the actual OM).

Boy I sure am an idiot. This is the 4th Corvette I've owned with the HUD and I never knew that there was a rotational adjustment. And I thought I had read the OM fairly closely. Doh!

I could (probably) be wrong but I think '19 was first year, but I never had a crooked one so didn't search before. I had seen someone mention this feature in another post here.

Just for the fun of it, I'll look in my Z06 OM to see if it's listed in there. My car is still in the shop for the engine freshen-up and cam change.
