Best vid I've ever seen on how to operate all these buttons. Just bought an almost new 427 convertible and hate trying to sort all this out by spending 12 long evenings reading thru the owners manual. thanks very much my friend for posting this up.
The car is daunting for the new owner. I spent many hours just trying to figure out the basics, and there's so many hidden functions & features it's almost bizarre. That's just for the base model. I have a 3LT with NAV, voice control, and all the extra optional features I've had to figure out. The manual is good, but not great, and it's horrid when it comes to the NAV. I can't imagine some busy executive buying the car & then spending the time necessary to learn the functions, especially considering how unintuitive many of them are.
@@salvadormonella8953 Couldn't agree more and well said. I thought the worst flood of electronics ever thrown at a conventional vehicle was all the BS factory installed on my 2017 BMW R1200RT touring bike. Then I bought my 427 convertible and that made the BMW look like childs' play.
The Corvette's HUD makes it the inspiration for a new Knight Rider TV series wherein the C6 Corvette replaces the Trans-Am as KITT's new body. When the operator changes the speedometer from British to metric, the measurement initial changes position from above the two crossed flags which symbolize GM's motorsport origins to the left.
i've never even used navigation on my 2008 c6 and didn't know that displayed up in the hud lol. i dont even know if i have the right directions loaded up and never bothered to look in to it as i just use my phone. very good vid, and learned a few things
A thousand thanks. Still relevant as I just got my 2012 grand sport last month and got the instruments and display all turned around. That's just me. Despite the manual I somehow got German and kilometers and was struck with it for 2 days before I ham-fisted my way back to English and mph. You've shown me a lot of features I would have never found. Thank you so much. I can now bond with my baby much easier.
I saw one where it showed a top speed. I didn't know if you were familiar with that? I keep trying to mess around with it, but haven't found that display.
@harddrive, can you turn down the gauges at night while the headlights are on, to be off? My Lexus IS250 allows this as did my 350z. I could literally turn off all interior lights while driving at night. Was a nice feature
What year is your Corvette I recently purchased to do thousand seven and my options button for some reason doesn’t want to do anything it just says options unavailable and I’m having a hard time figuring out what that means
If you mean the transmission temp, then yes that's well within range for these. You can go up to 270F and the onboard computer will warn you to let it cool. I've been up to 255 on the track.
Not all come with a HUD. It was an option that came with any package higher that 1LT. You can "shut it off" by turning the brightness all the way down with the side controls, so if you know your car has it installed, hold down the + brightness button on the left control pod.
The HUD is an option, but most of them have them. If it isn't installed, you can buy it and put it in afterward. However, I've done about every modification out there to mine, I recommend finding one with it already installed. Even if it's a little more expensive, its money well spent. The install is a pain! If you find one that is at least a 2LT. It will have the HUD
Eliteage yep, it's my daily! been four years now. No issues in the rain. Just don't be excessive! the active handling system in these is excellent. you won't have any trouble
The one I am looking at purchasing is a 2008. I unfortunately don't have a garage to keep it in which Is annoying but maybe if its covered properly itll be okay? Snow months I guess ill drive something else / maybe put it in storage? IDK
Eliteage 08 is definitely good. first LS3 year! if it's under a cover it should be fine. people for some reason act like these are super fragile. the paint they used for these is fantastic and very durable. Just be sure to keep it covered!
HardDrive how has maintenance been? Typically how much do you spend say getting brakes fixed, brake lines, common things that happen? Also, what things have been most prone to breaking or not working properly resulting in you fixing them ? Tha ks
Eliteage you definitely want to store it in the winter I live in Wisconsin and they dump so much salt on the roads I don't ever want it exposed to salt also it is not a practical car to drive in snow
It is a HEAD UP DISPLAY. The term "heads up" is used in sports and other places. If you are going to also talk about the HUD in a C7 Corvette, at least get this part right. Using the incorrect term makes everyone who does it seem inept. You may have noticed that the HUD works FOR ONLY ONE HEAD. Only ONE PERSON can see it. It is called "Head Up" because looking at the other instrument indications is "Head Down" looking into the car, and not the road. This comes from flight operations in military aircraft where, as in a racing car, bad things can happen so fast, you need to keep your head up and your eyes "outside" as much as possible. Just trying to help. :)
Lorn hmm..if it was sudden like that I would think the connector is the problem. replace the fuse anyways just to be safe. check both the under hood fusebox and the cabin fusebox
Thank you for your response I will check both fuse locations. Car starts no problem even turn the turn signals on flashing on car but not on the idicater in the cluster I will put a new battery in as well and see if I can find the connectors as well and maybe clean them ....thanks
No problem. The battery sounds okay. I don't think it's the source of the problem. If it stopped suddenly, then I would definitely assume the connector, fuse, or a wire is the problem. While you're looking, follow the wires and see if one got torn or exposed.
Hopefully I'm not raising the dead by commenting/asking. Transmission fluid temperature? Is this for an automatic transmission? Isn't your tire pressure a tad low? The honking if you leave your fob in the car is an OPTIONAL setting, it is not a "feature" that's always on. HUD---I don't know why this is sought after. I have it. It's gimmicky. I've got nice analog gauges right in front of me, why do I need a Halloween-green glow of the same info? I'm still getting used to the NAV. It is NOT intuitive to use, and it's slow. There is more to the dash display than you let on. That is NOT "all there is to it." You didn't cover the other HUD display options ( the multiple street vs. track displays) nor the customization possible for the HUD. You didn't cover other DIC display functions, nor hardly broach the topic of any DIC customization, nor did you cover other car settings managed from the DIC, like all the interior & exterior lighting options for entry & exit of the vehicle. Also, you said nothing about how the display is customizable per fob/driver. You also didn't cover any of the warning & notification lights in the dash display along with corresponding DIC messages.
He was highlighting the basics. Is that all you have to bitch about?? He gave enough information for someone new to familiarize themself with the panel cluster. Half of what you said didn't make any sense either. Get a life.
Everyone wants to call it a "HEADS" up display, does everyone have more than one head that they view the display with??? 🤨HEAD UP DISPLAY, because you keep your head up to view it, so you aren't looking down at the dash to see the relevant info needed for proper operation of the car.

I just got my 2008 c6 and this helped a lot
Thank you 🙏
Well done. Clear and concise descriptions. Excellent voice. Thanks.
This video is awesome. Just picked up a 13 GS and your vid was my first stop lol. Thanks!
Just got my 2011 GS 3LT, man did you save me tons of reading. Thank you
Thanks a lot my friend. Everything looks great. :) Really clear and high quality. I m gratefull this is what I looked for on youtube.

Just got an 09 card 3lt for 15 grand, in pristine condition. I needed this video as that's a lot of bells and whistles.
That’s a steal bro. You can’t hardly find Ls2 c6s for that cheap
A thousand thanks. Still relevant as I just got my 2012 grand sport last month and got the instruments and display all turned around. That's just me.

Thank you I’m picking my next week is a 2006 model I hope is the same sep up as yours
I did enjoy the video. I’ll pick up my new to me 2011 base coupe with the LT3 pack age later this week..
Wow! Incredibly helpful. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Thanks now I don't have to look it up any further!!
Great video. I learned something today.
Fantastico. el mejor video explicando el tablero del corvette c6. quiero comprar este auto.
I’m 6,1 I have an 06 I’m been tripping on how come I don’t see the holograph thanks for the info been driving it for 2 years i though it didn’t work 😂
Well explained video learned a few things!
Great video. Do you know if there is a shift light integrated into the HUD on manual transmission c6 z06's?
Can I do this on my cobalt?
Hello. I cracked my windshield and it needs to be replaced. If I replace it with a non GM one, will the dashboard stop working or the HUD?
I saw one where it showed a top speed. I didn't know if you were familiar with that? I keep trying to mess around with it, but haven't found that display.
@harddrive, can you turn down the gauges at night while the headlights are on, to be off? My Lexus IS250 allows this as did my 350z. I could literally turn off all interior lights while driving at night. Was a nice feature
How do I make a space when entering a name in the personalized space? Is there a way to backspace?
What year is your Corvette I recently purchased to do thousand seven and my options button for some reason doesn’t want to do anything it just says options unavailable and I’m having a hard time figuring out what that means
06. All of the 05-13 HUD units are the same. Not sure about the options unavailable. Haven't seen that before.
Thanks for the video .. When I drive my car Corvette the gear heat 200 F Is this normal?
If you mean the transmission temp, then yes that's well within range for these. You can go up to 270F and the onboard computer will warn you to let it cool. I've been up to 255 on the track.
@@harddrive6972 thenx 🌹
Informative ! Thanks
Thank you! I'm hoping to have a side-by-side of the C7 HUD soon as well. Stay tuned!
Hey man, do you live in San Diego? I saw the road name on nav and I live right by a Lupine Hills drive
Why does mine turn off when I have my lights on
How do you turn the HUD on

Very helpful
You da man!!! Thansk brotha!
Are c6 base models already wired for heads up display..wanna purchase one..can someone help with this information??
The HUD is an option, but most of them have them. If it isn't installed, you can buy it and put it in afterward.

Very advanced
Very helpful!
How do you adjust the volume on the click notices that the car makes when you’re making selections in the menus.
i drive the crap out of mine i have 185,000 on it but still learning little tricks, thanks
Is there a clock?
There is on the radio/nav screen. Not on the dashboard/hud.
You drive this thing year round? If so, how about rain? Im looking at purchasing but afraid of winter months lol
Eliteage yep, it's my daily! been four years now. No issues in the rain. Just don't be excessive! the active handling system in these is excellent. you won't have any trouble

Hey lorn did you ever find out the problem. I have the same exact issue the whole left side doesn't light up and the hud doesn't work.
Head up display, not heads.

Are you not splitting hairs a little bit?? 99% of people refer to it as Heads Up Display. Is that all you have to bitch about??

I’ll bet you’re a blast at parties.
