Removal of center console C8 Corvette. DIY Stealth package
Great video as always. I’m not sure it’s worth all that hard work, but thanks for showing us how!
A much needed video and thank you for going all the trouble, but. At the moment I realized I will never own a ZO6, I lost interest.
hey, great video! do you know if you could swap out specific panels once the door is off? i.e., the top piece of scratched
Hmm I have a C8 with non NPP exhaust but recently picked up a factory Z51 exhaust. So far my research tells me that I cant just bolt it on and expect it to work like a Z51 car. So I am looking to manually switch my retrofitted Z51 exhaust and wondering what it will take to do that. As far as I can tell no one has done this and posted how they did it. Do you have any recommendations?
@@sals559 you would have to wire in a completely separate power source and way to control it. I'll tell you right now it is going to be an extremely extensive job. It's almost not worth it to do it if you don't have it from the factory sorry.
Looking for how to do this on a 2014 C7 which does not have the stealth setting. When driving mode is in sport or track the exhaust valves are open and i am looking to wire a switch to close them, but cant do what you have because in mine the circuit is open. Any suggestions?
@@Dankain stealth and tour mode are the same for that. As long as you have factory NPP, this method will work just the same
Excellent info, just in case!
What was the total price in adding all the modules?
@@daypr1593 I think it was about $350.... I mentioned it in the video at one point I'm pretty sure. But prices are listed on the website I linked
Any chance you saw a gromet or access point to get into the cabin from the frunk? looking to run an accessory and trying to get as much info as possible.
@@Azuluza-z9s yes, I have another video that shows how to manually open the trunk, hood, glovebox etc. watch that video and look for the manual hood release cable. Follow that cable and you'll see a way to pass things through to the frunk.
Thanks so much for this video! Doing my dash replacements today. Both sides started to delaminate a couple months ago within a few days of each other. Just got the airbag swapped over, which was a pain. Now for the re-assembly. This would have been much, much harder without your video.
Reqlly good video tho man you really explained if somebody doesnt understand they never would subscribed
"You can see this big D" was unnecessary 😂😂😂😂😂😂
C8 any day.
Burn outs are a waste of tires, hard on the drive train and generally performed by less mature enthusiasts. I prefer the car that hooks hard and flat out rips. Just my 2 cents worth. Just took delivery of my new 2024 Z06 HTC and that car absolutely rips. So fun to drive and you don’t need speeds that will land you in prison. I Love It. I enjoy your channel, especially the technical how to’s. Thanks.
@@z06doc86 I agree, I was never really a big burnout guy. Unless of course you are at the dragstrip. Thank you sir.
@@squirrelcagegarage thank you for the informative videos!
Nicely explained!!
Will this work without apple car play 2014 corvette
@@ScottMeyer-g8f yes
Too complicated
Great video, could you tell me how to get to the heater/AC fan in the c8 please.
This is the main reason I only ordered a 2LZ interior. It looks great, nice job.
Kinda embarrasing the more expensive option is prone to failure, dealing with this right now myself on a C8. GMC is becoming a fuckin' joke. First and might be my last Corvette depending on how they deal with it.
@@mrmrsmeowmeow9045 Does your car sit outside often? What year is your C8?
@Corvette.Ronnie 2020 and no not often, weirdly enough transmission at 8k went bad so that took a month, when I got it back I noticed it. Weird part is the door panels. Also I'm not in overly hot area.
@@mrmrsmeowmeow9045 that’s disappointing. 5 days ago I just got my new Z06 HTC, HOWEVER…I got the 2LZ package so I’m hoping my interior won’t have this issue. The transmission on the other hand, if it goes I hope it happens during the warranty. Do you have an extended warranty on yours?
@Corvette.Ronnie bumper to bumper but they are being weird and only ordered the doors that are bubbling and delamminationing so weird, as they admitted its the adhesive gotta wait on dash report. Fantastic car otherwise but the trans did fail at 8k. Not sure on the vette long term had my cts v for almost a decade and a gt500 for 7 years...none of these issues.
I’m not sure if it was mentioned in the video or not, but to my knowledge, the AFM cylinder deactivation and the AFM exhaust valves only applies to cars with automatic transmissions. If I recall correctly, I saw this in my 2023 Camaro owner’s manual or the performance supplement. As a side note, I have a Chevy 1500 with the 5.3L 6speed trans. and my practice for deactivating AFM is to shift to manual 5. I use this setting for in town driving at speeds generally under 55mph. Otherwise, on the highway, I just put it in drive and live with it.
@@danielmoerke446 The only car I can speak for sure is the Corvette and maybe the Camaro. But manual transmission cars do have cylinder deactivation however you have to be in the economy mode and meet some very very very specific engine parameters.
OMG, they sell syringes on Amazon? Do you know who else sells them? Safeway, Walmart, FredMeyer and most hardware stores as well as hobb shops. LoL
I am brining my C08 into the dealer as the "P"arking button does not spring out correctly and the bottom temperature control button needs to be replaced. How long of a job do you think this should take? GM sent brand new parts for both issues and thankfully it is all under warrantee. Do you think 2 days is reasonable time to fix? Thanks for the amazing video. What state do you work out of?
@@EM-rx5cs yes, that type of repair should only take about 2 hours with a competent technician. And thank you, I'm out of Southern California
thank you so much for your reply --- do you have an email? I wasn't able to find one?
@@EM-rx5cs you're welcome, you can find me on Instagram also, same name, Squirrel Cage Garage
I did mine on my C8 today and it stuck but it also show the whole area that the glue was spreaded. Suck but it looks better then bubbles I suppose
@@jrod.9234 yes, I have seen this done on a C8 too, for some reason it is more visible after the repair, especially in direct sunlight
that is a functioning USB port (not just a charging port) in the storage behind the screen. I have a USB in there now that plays my music.
Thanks for the video man. That’s awesome.
Awesome video and great detail! Much appreciated. Also have bubbling in my dash and will need to fix it. Definitely a great help with this video.
Do you need to do a 4 wheels alignment?
@@bnmpower yes, you should after removing any of these components
Tried it and it didn’t work at all!
Hey squirrel, just got a 2015 c7 z06 and I want to add Apple Carplay on my car. I checked on the product's website. So do I only have to buy the "Cluster Upgrade Kit for Apple CarPlay / Android Auto Steering Wheel Controls 2014-2015" or there're other parts that I need to buy? Thank you!
@@qizhanliu1192 The cluster upgrade kit is only if you want to retain full steering wheel controls. After you install the upgrade kit typically for an iPhone you will keep all controls and for an Android you will only be able to keep the volume control. Although this can vary from car to car and is not guaranteed. This is because the steering wheel controls go to the radio modules through the cluster. If you're just looking to upgrade to add Android Auto / Apple CarPlay these are the parts that you need. www.whiteautoandmedia.com/product/car-play-upgrade-retrofit-kit/
why did you remove all the covers off the top of the motor
nice vid. just what i was looking for
Thank you for your information, it was good to explain.
Stock C8 has an even spacing around all 4 tires. They look good. Lowering will create an uneven spacing around the tires which cannot be considered as good looking.
Excellent video, thanks
So the car is great for kill switches cuz they can’t even get to the battery 😂
Ty this video really help
I hate that center console it literally made me buy a different car, because you can’t touch your girlfriends legs or barely get a kiss, I wish that they made a replacement kit
So, twin turbo flat plane crank for the win. Give me a Grand Sport with the Z06 body and regular engine, plz.
@@Tarkus826 I agree
Wow excellent video. I seen prob 50 videos this one blow all of them away. Thanks dude. I'm trying to disconnect my AFM. From watching ur video I have a 2018 stingray with AFM. I don't have valves in back u can see if you have NPP.
THANK YOU! This helped me swap to the stealth covers on my C8.R
amazing detailed video , thank you
So this is what i change to get mo powa.. P.s. Can't wait for my titanium exhaust
Great video!!! Thanks for posting. I have one question, I want to add the level 2 GM carbon. The speakers on dash is easy. The center section behind the display do you think it's possible to get to the 7 bolts by taking the upper dash apart then lifting the and poping clips and not taking glove box apart and so on?
@@jackmetcalf6405 it's not that hard to get that out. I have another video on my channel that shows a complete dash removal and that video will for sure answer your questions
Wow, very labor intensive!!! Thanks FG
Have been looking at a 2019 Zo6 c7 manual or a c8 3lt. I think a zo6 is way cooler, especially being a manual. Sure, the c8 is more capable, but it has a lot more nanny, tec. They are about the same, 75k. If money was no option, sure, the 160k c8 zo6 would be cool. Or the even better c8 Zr1 when it comes out. But for 75k a 2019 manual c7 zo6 seems pretty cool.
I’ve have a c8 and esthetically speaking it’s in another stratosphere
You need to compare apples to apples. I’d rather have a c7 z06 than a c8 . But I’d rather have a C8 Z06 ( and I do ) than a C7 Z06
Your videos are truly helpful!! Question : For the small trim piece next to the waterfall speaker grill that your press down on at 32:06 ? Are there clips above the carpet? Mine is currently out of alignment after a dealer tech replaced a speaker and im hoping i can fix it without going back to the dealership. Thank you in advance for your help!!
Hey, very much appreciate this video and the detail you go into - very helpful! I respectfully want to correct some terminology. Corvettes have not had a front-engine layout since 1962. Since the C2, they have all been mid-engined. There is front-mid-engine and rear-mid-engine, which means the engine is between the axles and either in front of or behind the occupants. C8 has the first production rear-mid-engine layout. Front-engine and rear-engine layouts have the engine above axles and biased more toward the end of the vehicle, giving it a wider moment of inertia and less responsive handling. Holley put out a really good article on this and I hope everybody will read it. It's titled: Don't Call the C8 Corvette "Mid-Engined"
Awesome video! have you had any CEL with your Borla exhaust. I'm looking to purchase the same exhaust.
