Differences between years....

I wasn’t able to find a sticky or something that would tell me the differences between my (now totaled) A10 ZL1 2018 and the 2020 A10 ZL1 I’m about to pull the trigger on....can anyone point me in the direction of that information or help me out?

New Digital rear view camera mirror
New infotainment system with SiriusXM 360L
New updated tail lights that started on the 2019's
I do know that there was a batch of bad valve springs on the LT4 and LT1 and for that model year built between June and September.

I read that there was no garage door opener buttons on the 2020 as well is that correct? Can you open the garage door with the infotainment center or is a garage door opener a must in these newer cars?

Yeah they dropped it 2019 I forgot about that shows how little I missed it lol. I personally never used them in the previous cars I have had. I just clip the remote to the visor or use the app on my phone to open the garage door. I have not heard of being able to use the infotainment system for that.

The interior rear view mirror camera was moved from the back of the car to the GPS antenna on the roof in 2020.

As I mentioned in another thread about this:

Tail lights are different, updated infotainment, no garage door opener/homelink and passenger/driver seats fully recline.

First 2 were already mentioned and there are probably other, minor, cosmetic differences in the years.

I think the backup/rear camera has better quality too and it was mentioned in the other thread that the TCM hasn't been unlocked by any tuners.

And there are no performance difference between a 2017 or 2021 ZL1/1LE.

Just some stuff I grabbed online...


What's New for 2019?
The Camaro ZL1 receives minor updates for 2019. However, its rear end does adopt fresh taillights and a revised bumper. The interior has improved wireless charging and updated ambient lighting with extra color options. The standard touchscreen now supports the company's Infotainment 3 software, with a more intuitive interface and increased personalization options. The other changes include a higher definition backup camera, an enhanced performance data recorder, and a newly standard forward-collision warning. As well, the 1LE package now has the the A10 transmission available.

What's New for 2020?
2020 Camaro ZL1 is essentially unchanged. The lone update includes a new exterior color called Rally Green.

What's New for 2021?
There are only a couple changes to the Camaro ZL1 lineup for 2021. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration are now on its roster of features, and Chevy offers a new extra-cost paint color: Wild Cherry.

I also read that 2020 offers wireless carplay as well...Correct? and about the above comment about the "TCM not being unlockable" is that only for the transmission? Is the ECU on the car itself still "tunable"?

Trans cannot be tuned but the ECU can.
