Cool C6 Feature
Gary Lester at Lone Star Chevrolet just showed me a cool feature on the C6. On the DIC, as you start the car, it reads, 'Corvette by Chevrolet owned by 'your name". You can program you name into the DIC.

What happens if you and say your wife drive it? Is it tuned to work with the memory package like the telescpoing steering wheel. Will it then say the person who is driving the car, if thats the case that would really impress me.
But then again i have high standards lol

Oh, I didn't answer the questions posed above....you do it...no need for dealer and no tool needed. You do it with the buttons on the right side of the dash. It is all really spelled out well in the owners manual.

It's something you can program yourself. If you have more than 1 driver, each driver can personalize their own message. The message will be flashed for whichever driver fob or memory button (on door) is being used. See page 3-74 of your owner's manual.

Maybe I can make her think it's haunted so she won't want to drive it.
