    Get an aftermarket head unit with carplay support. Picked one up off crutchfield for under $300 and installed that plus a backup camera in a couple short hours in my 07 Z06. Best decision. Bluetooth, hands free, carplay and much cleaner looking than the stock head unit. Backup camera is a huge addition as well, not to mention it'll fix the clock issue!

    I just replaced the oil pressure sensor on our 2009 Z06. The clock didn’t work before I disconnected the battery terminals to change the sensor. The clock worked after I reconnected the battery. My recommendation is to disconnect the battery. That fixed our problem. You will have to relearn the windows to close properly after you do that just read the manual. It’s easy to do.

    The clock dissappears due the battery being disconnected or running v.low and it can't regain it's signal due to the satellite being realigned about a year ago, altering the frequency that 2005-2010 G.M. sat nav radios need to operate.You can manually set the clock but to do this the clock must have received a satellite signal to provide the initial setting!?........so that's a lot of use,there is a fix on the Internet but I haven't tried if yet.The head thing is a big deal if it affects you obviously,but it's not as big a deal as the Internet would have you believe.

    Owner here.. 2007 C6 Z06. No dust inside my headlight covers. It is a lowered American 😃 -Super Car- so take inclines sideways. Or as far from perpendicular as possible. Never had my head-unit (stereo) move and get stuck. HOWEVER, my clock disappeared one day (I didn’t care. I did but didn’t if ya know what I mean??) HOWEVER about a few months later the clock WAS BACK.. It has been back ever since. Yep, I know.. Really. Really. Weird. Regardless it is back! No head-valve issues. Ummm. Did you really dis the Red-Hot Colored engine covers??? Rhetorical question.. Seriously tho... The Red-Iconic-Z06-Engine covers? Anyway, NO wonder GM is otherwise comfortable just putting in more and more black plastic for ya. I mean right? Right? Was the font they used for the LS7 print on the covers okay 👌? It’s also in BOLD print... Did Pandora’s box just open? I appreciate the review, seriously I do. And no ill-will focused, but wouldn’t it be nice if the Z06 could do a review on you? What would it find? lol 🤣😂😇 You can’t hate the truth it would bring right? I dunno... Super unsteady with the cam? Never washes me? Follows way to closely to the traffic in front of me. Maybe puts cheap fuel in? He holds or burns the clutch? Why did my Cayleb come with a “y” in the middle of his name? Caleb. Cayleb??? Cay-leb? Ca-Y-leb? Yeah, just Caleb would do. Revs the engine with out warming up for at least a few sec or so? He begs for smashing the like and/or like button. When he finally decides to, takes me to a quick lube where he -maybe- pays for expensive oil but the quick lube tech just put in used oil from the last Honda that was in front of me... He never follows my routine maintenance or checks my rear suspension grease links to make sure I’m moving fluidly? He sometimes has absolute poor sound quality... Disclaimer: If needed, this was purely a fictional piece in which your Z06 was complaining about you and your inadequacies. Not that you do any of the things your Z06 (DID) BUT “hypothetically” mentioned above. 😉😘❤️❤️❤️

    I understand that the valve "dropping" issue is a machining defect from the original supplier. Apparently the valve giudes are not concentric with the valve seats. This is a ticking time bomb. If you are purchasing a Z06 and the heads have not been fixed, back out the cost from the asking price.
