I've had my service tech update the PDIM long ago thinking it was done correctly. I took it to another dealer for an oil change and had them check the PDIM for me because the problem was still there. As it turns out, it was never updated correctly. They updated it to the CC CE software. It still had problems (no device found when ANY type of USB was plugged in, would pick up at the beginning of the USB, etc). I took it a few weeks ago to my regular dealer asking them to check it again. They said the problem was with the USB port. I told them it was a software issue and it needed the new update. They changed the USB plug out saying it was fixed. No dice. He tried showing me saying "it's worked every time since we changed it out." He sat down, turned it on, and low and behold, "No data found on device, bla bla bla".... So, same old story. I took it in this morning, showed them the info here, and voila, ordering me a new PDIM so we can get the DX DA software/updates. I'll let you know how it goes. Right now, my squeaky front brakes are getting their weights taken off and new pads put on. The rear deck lid rattle (NOT THE SPOILER) is also getting fixed. Then, the PDIM gets put in. Nice...getting stuff DONE around here! |

So my question for everyone. If I do not have a 2SS but a 1SS and want to put this new feature in will I be getting the new PDIM when I order it?

If you are going to be upgrading on your own, the part is like $90 and you order the part number YOU want...not what they give you. I know they had a new PDIM at the dealer today that they brought out. However, it was not the part number listed above. So, they took it back ordering the new PDIM. You order the part number you want.

My question is, for those of us that did the 1SS PDIM upgrade ourselves, is the PDIM covered under warranty or do we just need to buy the new module? The new module should have the correct firmware revision in it already correct? Should just be plug and play. Thoughts???

If you did the upgrade yourself and it's having issues (which most are and is well documented), then I would remove the module, take the part and receipt back to the parts guys, and ask to exchange it for the proper part number. I imagine that if your installed PDIM is having any sort of issues, it should be covered under warranty. The new module SHOULD have the correct DX DA update....TO MY KNOWLEDGE.

I got it from GMPartsdirect, I won't deal with them again. If a new PDIM is only $90 I may just spring for it. Although, I am contemplating a double din head unit which would negate the PDIM all together. We'll see I suppose.

I've read most every post on the PDIM installation and/or upgrading.
My 1SS does not currently have a PDIM, I've been waiting for the "problems" to be resolved. It seems that the new "PDIM" and software update do seem to solve most of the pre-existing compatibility issues. There were references to there being two different PDIM modules. One PDIM module which was pre-installed at the factory for any car with the C&C package and then another one you obtained via the PDIM kit to install into any Camaro without the PDIM factory installed. The PDIM kit has the PDIM itself and the installation cable. I believe there was a post on this site with a picture of the two different PDIM modules (factory vs. upgrade). I also see references to two "updated" PDIM part numbers. Is one for the PDIM modules that were factory installed PDIM devices and the other for the PDIM kit? I would also think the PDIM kit would have a new part number if they've replace the PDIM module in it. How can one be "sure" they're getting the PDIM kit to install into their Camaro that contains the "current/latest" PDIM module? Is there a revised part number for a PDIM kit with the latest PDIM module? PDIM part numbers:

What dealership are you working with? Gunn has flashed my PDIM with the same damn software three times, regardless of what I have told them about the new hardware. |

Awesome! Good to hear that your dealer is working with you on this. Hope it solves the problems and gives you the newest versions. Cant wait to hear the results! Also, I havent heard much about differences between factory, and owner installed PDIM's.. but the part number I gave is what they are putting in the camaro's with the package factory installed. If you order this part and install it yourself, there still should not be any issue with it as long as its programmed right i suppose. |

Not trying to confuse anyone, but I only know what the dealer installed and the service reports lists PN 20927509. Could it be like in the old days when the factory installed part (Cheryl's number) had a different number then "the service replacement" ?
I know nothing more than what they installed and it displays the DA/DX versions. I'm a happy camper and I was very surprised they had it in stock. Don O
