C5 DIC Message

Can you program the DIC to personalize it like on the C6?

For those not in the know, what can you do on the C6 DIC?

You can program a message so when it starts up it shows up on the DIC. Something like "You lucky SOB!".

I'd rather be able to run the diagnostics on a C5 than have a personalized message - personal preference I guess.....

Not an opinion - a fact. You cannot bring up the diagnostic codes on the C6, but you can personalize it. As I stated - I would rather be able to have the diagnostics than a personalized message - as the conclusion that can be drawn is that you cannot have both, since that is how they function.

Form over function, I guess.

with you, though not sure why you added

Guess I'd have to say I'd take my 08 C6 Z06 over the C5 DIC diagnostics, but that's just personal preference.

Hey Jim! I guess I'd rather have a new C6 Z06 over an 11 year old C5......on second thought, nah! I like my C5 just fine, and it's been all mine since I bought it on 11/28/2003.
