The Saturday Night Joke A senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he floored it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little gray hair he had left. Amazing, he thought as he flew down I-94, pushing the pedal even more. Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a state trooper behind him, lights flashing and siren blaring. He floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120. Suddenly he thought, What am I doing? I’m too old for this, and pulled over to await the trooper’s arrival. Pulling in behind him, the trooper walked up to the Corvette, looked at his watch, and said, “Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a reason for speeding that I’ve never heard before, I’ll let you go.” The old gentleman paused. Then he said, “Years ago, my wife ran off with a state trooper. I thought you were bringing her back.” “Have a good day, sir,” replied the trooper.

One of the best products that could come to market for the Corvette Family, brings the C6, soon the C5 right back into the current era -as far as the interior goes. Your well engineered product completely makes the entire car as seen from the inside out , simply fantastic job well done! I cant wait until I can get my hands on one, this should be voted in as best new product to market at SEMA.. Congratulations!

@KnightDriveTV 7 ай бұрын

I did submit it to new products, as seen in the SEMA vids I posted, but some kind of interior vacuum won I think. Thanks for the positive words though, I wish more people in the C6 community felt the same way. Sales have been very poor.

Keep up the hard work 💯

I have definitely worked to get down delivery times. I have companies I order from, major established brands that just flat out forget my order. A company I oreer wheel centers from 18mo ago, I finally called and they just sent it and to the wrong address. It got delivered and lost, money gone. I ordered an intake from Edelbrock in January...still no sign of it. Front end parts for my hummer was supposed to 6wks, its been 12. I dont get on brands because I know what its like BUT...I am not sure sometimes. I appreciate that comment though, I have delivered over 2700 headlight kits through this pandemic and supply chain time, from my house/garage, all made to order and now we are releasing the c5 and c6 MaxDin units. Me and basically 2 helpers. I think a lot of companies can probably do better.

I wonder if you're going to slowly become a tech help line when both the C5 and C6 screens are out there in customer hands. What firmware are you running? Did you complete the factory reset?

@KnightDriveTV 11 ай бұрын

I dont really think so. The beta group has worked through a lot of problems, in terms of user issues. With that, I've been able to get a good.picture of what causes difficulty. Honestly, this system is VERY well sorted, at this stage. Install is cake...easier than any double din, because this is made specifically for the car. Updates and the update process causes the most random user issues, but videos will be made for those updates, to show step by step. Lastly, its just more about people working through the system. Just like any new laptop or piece of electronics, it takes time to really understand how it works and routinely functions. I think the consistency of phones spoils people a bit, because the transition and how its used, is consistent. Here, aligning phones to it, and learning how to integrate it into a car that never had it...it just takes time and playing around with it. Having a strong support community.on fb, of beta testers and users will also lighten that load a lot.

@KnightDriveTV 11 ай бұрын

The hvac units will fail in c6's more and more. You could obviously have other hvac issues, but whatever is related to the controller side of things, this eliminates that. The issue is, does the rest of your system work correctly. Many people will expect magic, but an aged car can have a lot of compounded problems with blend doors, actuators, etc BUT if your control unit clearly has issues, this would eliminate that of course.

I bought a unit and it is great but now I do have an issue with static or high pitch noise through the speakers. Any thoughts please?

@KnightDriveTV 6 ай бұрын

This is due to the C6 grounding issues or incorrect use of the red box. If you're non bose, no red box should be in place, if you're bose then the red box gets used. Bose tends to be the system with grounding issues, we've found. A ground strap should be added to the rear of the unit, with an additional ground wire. The facebook group KnightDriveTV MaxDin Support Group has details on this procedure. This is the nature of the C6 construction, having ground breakdown, which affects a lot of electronics like the BCM, etc. I am releasing a how-to on the grounding procedure shortly ahead.

@KnightDriveTV 11 ай бұрын

Yes, a pathway to display the data just needs created. If the ecm sees it, then it can be fed to the screen via bluetooth. The key here, is the display size allows for some VERY bold and pronounced displays for active warnings and makes for some good in-car video as well. Lots of advantages with the big screen displaying gauge packages.
