That's disappointing, as I looked over the settings and not one of them is perfect for me, I would rather be able to tailor make my own settings individually. Hopefully GM changes this for future C7s.

I didn't know you could set the MRC to a different mode independent of the steering mode. What is the difference in steering modes? How do you change the responsiveness of the steering? What else can be individually set.

Sport almost always. Eco on the highway. NPP off except on the highway.

Can you change the default mode when starting the car. Mine always defaults to two wearing when I restart the car. It's a pain to always have to change it, I would like it to default to sport anyone know how to do this?

Greetings AVETTE. Link to driver mode via steering controls did it for me, Now my car always starts in Sport Mode AND my HUD now always starts in track mode (where I left it when I linked everything). Hope this answers your question.

Unfortunately you can't change the MSRC settings independently. At one point you could before production cars were started, then they changed it. Steering controls can be changed in the Vehicle Settings via the Infotainment Screen. I went to "Sport" all the time, even on the rare occasion I go to Tour mode.

I agree, only disappointment I have with the car is not being able to program a couple of my own configurations.

Yup, I thought I'd read MSRC were independent...was disappointed over the change. Any reason it couldn't get/be changed back?

Are you saying you can have the sportier steering in the tour mode or the sport mode? Can you have the exhaust wide open in the tour mode?
Thanks for your help.
