Default "Corvette By Chevrolet" Dash Message

My message comes up and disappears so fast...is there a way to have it slow down so I can see it?

I know its corny - but I love when that message appears.

Thanks!

If you insert the key and immediately turn it to start you will not see the message. But if you turn the key to on without starting the car you will get the message displayed.

It can only be slowed down by rewriting the software timing for the code that displays it. (i.e. not happening)

I insert the key, turn to the on position, and let the needles sweep, then start.
Just my way, do it every time.

That does seem to help in seeing the message, but I do not think it really slows things down that much.

As far as you doing something other than that to slow it down, I don't think that is possible.

Take a video then slow it down via editing. This way you can watch it anytime you like.
