I have a difficult time reaching the DIC features and destinations that I have read about in the owners manuals and video clips. I have reviewed each of these sources thoroughly.
Is there or could there be a checklist guide that will take me step by step through the complete matrix and will tell me what to expect at each selection. I read about these features and see them in videos but can not duplicate. If I am doing something wrong this would be a good training aide. If my DIC is defective a checklist would be a good service guide. My Nav/Info screen was defective and replaced

Thanks very much for the offer... But, would U believe? ... the light finally came on and I figured out the matrix .... just a little slow on the uptake?? However, I have another Q and I discussed with Eric Mallette... The owners manual seems to eliminate Launch Control for Z51 and Mag ride. Eric and I agreed that couldn't be ... but ...pls see page 9-45. What do you think?

Hmmmm. Interesting post. I went out to my garage and saw my fuel door open. I thought then... wonder how this got open as I do not recall opening it. I just shut it and moved on. But I will now watch it and note when I open it and if it opes on its own. I thought it was strange that it was open.

One of the main reason's I got the 2LT package was for the lumbar support because of 2 back surgeries. I am assuming that the lumbar support is an air bladder .... yes?? About every 2 days I have to press the lumber support to "inflate" it again. Apparently the air is escaping.. I would think the air pressure should remain at least for months.. not a couple of days.
Anyone else have the Lumber support "deflating" within days??

Well that was fun while it lasted. Driver side window will not go up from being rolled down. Passenger side window works perfectly. I've had the car for barely 2 days! Anyone have this issue? When I press up on each button (passenger and driver), I hear clicking from both of them, which leads me to believe the motors are fine.
Should I disconnect the battery and reconnect? Any help is appreciated! I made an appointment for the dealer for this Friday just in case.

Maybe it won't happen again but I will keep an eye on it. If this is the only hiccup I have with the car, I will be happy. (Knocking on wood as I type)

Cell Phone Pairing Issue
When I took delivery, the dealer paired my phone and it worked fine. Two days later, I pressed the blue button to set up On-Star acct. After that, my phone would not work - the screen said "paired but not connected". Went to the dealer and after 30 minutes trying this and that while talking to GM specialist thru my On-Star connection, we were told to hang up On-Star and call on the dealer's cellphone. Did that and was able to unpair and then re pair my phone and it works fine. Turns out my brother has had the same issue with his new Enclave. GM specialist says that On-Star uses blue tooth and it is interfering with the phone settings. anyone else had this?

DIC and HUD went black
Hello - My DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER (DIC) and HUD both went black for a couple of minutes then came back on again. This hasn't before but I only have about 700 miles on my C7. Has this happened to anyone else? I plan on taking this in to the dealer next week after the weather get better, I hope.
Thanks,

For one I think disconnecting the batt will require the windows to be re-indexed In his first post windows were the concern. I try not to compound issues ..lose track also I believe all personal DIC and infotainment settings would have to be reset no big deal, just trouble.. your C7 never sleeps, there may be other resets involving security

1) In reference to post #24. It isn't that HUD is tilted sideways to the right so much as that on the right side of the HUD there appears to be a "shadowing" effect where the pixels are not properly alligned. This appears on mine also.
2) My rear hatch will pop open when I open my drivers side door sometimes. Have not understood why, perhaps just a variant of the "double cycle" that others are hearing when they open the door.
3) Have misaligned rubber moulding around passenger side window causing excess noise when I drive at high speeds. Some water was noted inside car, but was using spray nozzel
