Default Comp mode and Oil Temp Display?

Is it possible to get the Oil temperature display on the DIC when in competition mode or with active handling off?

I'd like to monitor my oil temperature while on the road course, and I typically run with TC/AH disabled.

Thanks in advance,
Rob

I thought so....I pressed about every other button, including "GAGES" (jeez that spelling drives me nuts!), to get the oil guage back, and it didn't do a thing.

If it's really as simple as that, I'll be happily schooled...

That's probably it, then. :)

Once you "acknowledge" the message via "reset" you can then operate the DIC as before. It seems odd at first then it makes sense after a while.

Reset will do the trick.

You should take a look at our TracActive Controller. It'll automatically put the car in Competition Mode when you start the engine (or turn off TC/AH if you'd like). The Deluxe model even clears the DIC for you!

For more info, click the banner below. The LAPD is running a special with free shipping through their Corvette Forum Mall store right now.
