Old vs New style Dash

[GEEKFREEKSCOTTY]

I like the dash on the '12 + ... but I like my 2011 steering wheel better.

Good thing the dash on the 2012 is a direct fit to the 2011.. kind of a big project, but if I could find a 2012 dash for super cheap, I'd be tempted.

so they fixed it?

I do have a question though, will it be available as a gm accessories upgrade similar to how other vehicles have had a nav radio as a gm accessories upgrade?

Unfortunately, at this time, we are not aware of any plans to make the system available for purchase from GM Accessories. I wish i could be of better assistance in this matter.

To let down the back windows in a convertible so the carpet can dry from the leaking tops.

yeah they ordered a new part. Those leather pieces are separate parts that pop in and out, easy fix for them, or so they said. Car still is under bumper to bumper so it was free.

This is true IMO. The new one is very comfortable.

So far so good, about 4 weeks now maybe 5. Could be because a slight break in the hot weather though, cant be sure but none the less it is bubble-less at the moment.

Go ahead, its under bumper-bumper warranty. free, and took them 2 hours to call me back and say it was done.

Like my old 2010 steering wheel.

Like the door lock button in the middle. Seems logical.

Wish I had the HUD though.

I am hoping since my 2013 SS is being built this week it will pass the hot weather and give the glue more time to cure. I think the new cars sitting out in the heat the glue never did get much chance to harden up.

Another reason I'm glad I don't have the new dash-- I like the look but all I've heard are people complaining about the leather bubbling under the vents.

in all fairness, you don't notice it unless you run your fingers over it. you really can't see it. I think I was wiping some dust off when I noticed it on mine

I've owned both; a 2011 2LT R/S VR and now a 2013 2LT R\S CRM and I like 'All' the updates! The dash looks better, like the wheels with the CRM color much better. The 'My Link' is a nice upgrade, the steering wheel has a better feel to me and the mirror is cool as well. Just my personal opinion!

[mattsfirstSS]

Mine was totally noticeable but also easily fixable, much better than all plastic I'm my opinion even if i had to have it fixed.
