Modified DIC message?
Does anyone know if you can change the “Corvette…By Chevrolet” banner that is displayed at startup on the C5’s? I was recently in a C6 and noticed that it can be personalized to the with the drivers name and thought it was pretty cool.

That would be cool! My dad's CTS DVD/GPS system says "Big Fred" when he starts the car.

This question has been addressed here before, and the result was that there is no way to reprogam/personalize a DIC on the C5. That being said, someone will figure out how to do it this time

No one has cracked it in 9 years, so I doubt it is going to happen.

You need to look for RPO code
C6 , it's a $46,000 option.
all kidding aside, it's been asked several times over the years and as screw said It's been around for 9 years and no luck yet. I doubt you'll see it on the C5.

So far, no one has been able to change the C5 DIC message. Maybe someday.
