C6 Clock/Nav fix...
 

Appears there is a video for a DIY fix I just saw on Facebook from "Thecorvettemechanic" to finally get our clocks back.

Has anyone on here tried this and confirmed it to work?

I will tonight after work. I will update then.

I downloaded/ burned to a CDR successfully.
Awaiting more experience Vette tech/ owner to confirm the fix works.

:lurk:

Nice job Racer 😊

It works 100%!
I burned a CD-R, and it installed properly! I now have the clock back with the correct time, and all other nav functions work.
I wanted to add, the file you downloaded is a compressed Zip file, that has to be unzipped, or uncompressed first, before you burn the CD.

It Works

I tried a DVD-R first and it does not work., then used a CR-RW. Dragged and dropped file, burned/finished the CD..

when you first put it into the DVD/Map slot it says not a map disk...
wait 20 seconds andit pops this screen up
this screen pops up, takes 2 or so min to do its thing, corvette logo shows as its reboots.

then ejected disk and checked and no clock.....then went to put maps in and then the clock popped back up working before I got the map disk In.

So you just put the zipped file(https://tis2web.akamai.gm.com/radio/..._05_10_fix.zip) onto the CD-RW, and it worked?

No you down load the zip file.

then right click and extract the file. it will be one file. named "LOADING.KWI"


drag that one file onto a blank CD-R/CD-RW, and drop it there, click manage and then burn to finish.

when done follow instructions start car out side and put disk in.

OK, I knew that, but some people that aren't familiar with old school technology might not know that!:D That's why I put that info in my post!

Anyone want to part with there 2016 MAP update PM me.

I am glad you guys finally got a resolve to this. I had a 2013 so never had the problem but it also would have drove me nuts if I did.

The fix worked, I now have a clock with correct date as well as what seems to be a better functioning GPS with no GPS and a line thru it for some time.

Thanks to all for the update and help getting this fixed for us.

Anyone waiting to see if it is the real deal, it is, get those clocks fixed!!

Good news! :thumbs:
I was wondering how long it would be before I had to disconnect the battery.

Great Find for the fix. Although I never disconnected my battery and didn't lose the clock, no worries now

I would suggest either way, doing the update now and being done with it.

File update worked smoothly. I finally have a clock again!

Make sure you use a CD it will not work on a DVD. Ask me how I know. My clock came right up after loading the fix.

Worked like a champ! Thanks!
