Default I Give UP

Ok, after searching the forum under

"DIC personalization"
"DIC startup message"
"Corvette by Chevrolet"

I cannot find the instructions on how to reprogram the intro message on the DIC. I tried a few methods that I had peiced together through threads....theres nothing in the owners manual, and I burned 1/8 tank of gas sitting at an idle in park trying to figure this out.

HELP! HELP ME!

I was under the impression that the intro message could not be changed on the C5, only the C6.

Why did you have the engine running, the display comes up when you turn the key on? I mean, your wasting your time anyway, but why waste gas too?
