Having trouble with my C8 Z51
Hi everyone having a few issues with my C8 !! First of all last week I did my first update. It was a 60 minute update and I don’t even know what it was for? And ever since I did that my car is just not the same. The second thing Iam having problem with is connecting my iPhone to my car . I went to the dealer they said that they have no idea what’s happening and they want to restore it to the manufacture program. Don’t have no idea what they’re talking about since they have no idea what they’re even talking about. They say they have no data on this car. ?? Please will love some feedback’

@SaC8Z51 I saw your post in another thread too. I'd like to know:
1) Did it really take 60 minutes? A lot of updates say they can take up to 60 minutes but I never had one take even 5 minutes on my C8.
2) You say your car is having a lot of problems. How many is a lot, what are the problems, and did they just start when you did the update?
