Default Corvette Welcome Message

Just got a used C6 and when I start it up the instrument cluster displays a message saying "Kort, you are way too cool"

How in the hell do I get ride of this stupid saying... all I really need to do is have it deleted!!

Gotta hope the previous owner didn't pay for this feature...

Thanks

Check your owners manual. There is a spot where it talks about options on the DIC. You can turn that feature off or change it to something else.

Check your owner's manual (if you have it). Kort can be changed to Hannibal very easily...

See if this helps.

Personalize Name: This option allows you to type
in a name or greeting that will appear on the DIC
display whenever the corresponding keyless access
transmitter (1 or 2) is used or one of the memory
buttons (1 or 2) located on the driver’s door is pressed.
Press the OPTION button until PERSONALIZE NAME
appears on the display, then press the RESET button to
scroll through the following modes:
• YES
• NO (default)
If you choose YES, you can type in a name that will
appear on the DIC display.
To program a name, use the following procedure:
1. Enter the PERSONAL OPTIONS menu and select
the driver number (1 or 2) that you would like
to program by following the instructions listed
previously under “Entering the Personal
Options Menu”.
2. Press the OPTION button until the PERSONALIZE
NAME option appears on the display.
3. Select YES under PERSONALIZE NAME by
pressing the RESET button.
4. Press the OPTION button and a cursor will display
where you can insert a letter.
5. Press the OPTION button again until the letter you
want is displayed. To scroll through the letters faster
and without a beeping noise, keep the OPTIONS
button depressed. There are alpha/numeric
characters and a blank space available.
6. Then press the RESET button to select the letter of
your choice and proceed on to the next space to
the right.
If you make a mistake and would like to clear or
replace a letter, perform the following steps:
6.1. Press the RESET button to reach the letter
you would like to change.
6.2. Press the OPTION button to scroll through
the letter choices.
6.3. Press the RESET button to select the letter
and proceed on to the next space to the right.
7. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 until the name or greeting
you want is complete. After the name or greeting
is complete, keep pressing the RESET button
until the display turns blank and exits out of this
option. You can program up to 20 characters.
If you choose NO, this option will turn off.
If a customized name or greeting is not programmed,
the DIC display will show Driver 1 or Driver 2 to
correspond with either the number on the back of the
keyless access transmitter (1 or 2) that is being used
or to the memory button (1 or 2) that is pressed.
PERSONALIZE NAME is the last option available to
program in the PERSONAL OPTIONS menu. Pressing
the OPTION button after this setting will exit you
from the PERSONAL OPTIONS menu. The last item
you were in prior to entering PERSONAL OPTIONS
will then display on the DIC.

I'm pretty sure it was "Driver 1" and "Driver 2". It has been 18 years since I bought a new Vette (2006 Coupe), so my recollection could be foggy.

I bought mine used, 10,000km spanning over 10 yrs...1 owner. Message read 'Hello Gorgeous' (message 2 was default 'Driver 2')

No, I don't drive mine often, but when I do, this makes me smile
