Default Reprogram the dash Help????

Hey guys,
I was wondering if it was possible to easily or cheaply reprogram the dash, so instead of at start up it reading CORVETTE <screen clears> BY CHEVROLET it could read something else?

Or instead of it saying something like DOOR AJAR i could make it read something else

Not on the C5s but I heard with the C6s you can. I could be wrong but I thought it was possible.

You cannot reprogram the C5 to display a different message at start up.

You can reprogram the C6 to display a different message at start up.

If it is that important to you ... go buy a C6.
