From what I have read you cannot change it on the C5 but you can on the C6. And there is not a retrofit kit of any kind.

Thanks for the feedback.

It would be great to somehow access the flash memory and change the code that defines how the OBC behaves. All I can find online refers to tuning the the engine, ECM, PCM... etc.

What I need is a hacker!

The "Corvette by Chevrolet" is allot better than a DIC throwing up a code instead
