Default programming/personalization with corvette dash?

Hey guys I was wondering where I could read up on to program personal sayings on the C6 corvette dash. I guess you can program the car to say whatever when it first fires up and also you can change the competitive driving mode to say like...ready to launch etc...

I am just curious if there is a section on here where I could read up on since I can't find anything in my owner's manual.

thanks

It is in the owner's manual. Look again.

2005 owner's manual, page 3-68.

Entering the Personal Options Menu
To enter the personal options menu, use the
following steps:
1. If you have an automatic transmission vehicle, turn
the vehicle on with the shift lever in PARK (P).
If you have a manual transmission vehicle, turn the
vehicle on with the parking brake set.
2. Press the OPTION button and you will enter the
PERSONAL OPTIONS menu.
The DIC will display the current driver
number (1 or 2) for a few seconds and then will
display instructions on which buttons to use
for setting the personalizations. The RESET button
is used to select a setting for a particular feature.
The OPTION button is used to move to the
next feature.
3. Press the OPTION button while the instruction
screen is displayed to enter the first personalization
menu item.
4. Once you have cycled through all of the personal
options, pressing the OPTION button a final time
exits the personal options menu. In addition, if
no button is pressed within 45 seconds, the DIC will
exit the personal options menu.
Pages 3-74 and 3-75.

Personalize Name: This option allows you to type in a
name or greeting that will appear on the DIC display
whenever the corresponding keyless access
transmitter (1 or 2) is used or one of the memory
buttons (1 or 2) located on the driver’s door is pressed.
Press the OPTION button until PERSONALIZE
NAME appears on the display, then press the RESET
button to scroll through the following modes:
• YES
• NO (default)
If you choose YES, you can type in a name that will
appear on the DIC display.
To program a name, use the following procedure:
1. Enter the PERSONAL OPTIONS menu and select
the driver number (1 or 2) that you would like to
program by following the instructions listed
previously under “Entering the Personal
Options Menu”.
2. Press the OPTION button until the PERSONALIZE
NAME option appears on the display.
3. Select YES under PERSONALIZE NAME by
pressing the RESET button.
4. Press the OPTION button and a cursor will display
where you can insert a letter.
5. Press the OPTION button again until the letter you
want is displayed. To scroll through the letters
faster and without a beeping noise, keep the
OPTIONS button depressed. There is a complete
alphabet and a blank space available.
6. Then press the RESET button to select the letter of
your choice and proceed on to the next space to
the right.
If you make a mistake and would like to clear or
replace a letter, perform the following steps:
6.1. Press the RESET button to reach the letter
you would like to change.
6.2. Press the OPTION button to scroll through
the letter choices.
6.3. Press the RESET button to select the
letter and proceed on to the next space
to the right.
7. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 until the name or greeting
you want is complete. After the name or greeting
is complete, keep pressing the RESET button
until the display turns blank and exits out of this
option. You can program up to 20 characters.
If you choose NO, this option will turn off.
If a customized name or greeting is not programmed,
the DIC display will show Driver 1 or Driver 2 to
correspond with either the number on the back of the
keyless access transmitter (1 or 2) that is being used or
to the memory button (1 or 2) that is pressed.
PERSONALIZE NAME is the last option available to
program in the PERSONAL OPTIONS menu. Pressing
the OPTION button after this setting will exit you
from the PERSONAL OPTIONS menu. The last item
you were in prior to entering PERSONAL OPTIONS will
then display on the DIC.
Don't think you can program anything for the Competitive Driving Mode.

Show us the text in the owner's manual that says you can. I've owned several C6s for the last 11 years and I've never seen it.

Alternately, post the You Tube that says you can.

Can you program the DIC to read manual transmission temperature on a 2011 grand sport corvette it looks like there is a sensor in the transmission for it.

But, occasionally, the answer here is incorrect.
